The Most Popular Fiction Thriller Books

By Donald Sanders


When a story is told in the first-person point of view, the narrative can sometimes be limited to what that one individual character is thinking, feeling, or experiencing. The Girl on the Train is a book that avoids that problem by delegating the narrator role between three different characters. The fast pace and exciting storyline are what makes this one of the top-selling fiction thriller books.

It would be hard to find a person who read Gone Girl and didn't feel compelled to get all the way to the end to see what happens. This is a novel that uses an unreliable narrator to add to the element of suspense. Although it may not be a happy, feel-good tale, there is something satisfying about reading Gone Girl.

Nothing is better than taking a classic genre like the whodunnit and refashioning it for modern days. That's what is achieved in Into the Water. The story focuses on a series of drownings in a particular river.

Those who are fans of this genre are certainly familiar with Dan Brown and his work, and his book called Origin falls right into line with the quality of storytelling his fans have come to expect. This is the fifth in his Robert Langdon series, which is an important thing to keep in mind before running out to a bookstore and buying it. Like the other novels in this series, it contains plenty of conspiracies and symbology.

A lot of people have heard of The Da Vinci Code because of the popular movie starring Tom Hanks, but there are plenty who have never read the book. This is what many people call Dan Brown's finest novel. In it, he introduced his symbologist character that paves the way for a thrilling series.

It is always amazing when an author's first book is a huge international success, and that was exactly the case with SJ Watson's Before I Go to Sleep. This book has been translated into numerous languages and has seen popularity in many different countries. The main character is especially vulnerable because she suffers from a form of amnesia that prevents her from forming new memories.

People love The Lying Game by Sara Shepard because it showcases some of the deceit of real life, as well as some of the hazards of pulling pranks that can take very ugly and even deadly turns. The story starts with the protagonist finding a video of what appears to be herself posted online, and this perpetuates her discovery of a deadly game. People who like this story can read more about it in the novels that follow in the series.

For a book by an Australian author, The Dry by Jane Harper is a great one to pick up. Although her small farming town in her story is fictional, it will feel very real to the reader. As one finds out from reading this book, there's much more to this town than meets the eye.
