The mystery and thriller subgenres are particularly alluring. Thriller books are compelling and difficult to put down because they make the reader think rather than just witnessing the narrative develop. The reading experience becomes more engaging as a result. The biggest benefit is that it encourages intellectual engagement, and if you can figure out the revelation moment before the book ends, all the better. It also helps to appreciate the journey and observe how the details develop naturally. Here are a few thrilling books that will be published in May 2023.
