Home > Books > 100 Book Thrillers

This section contains a list of 100 books that I have classified as thrillers, which mean that they have a gripping storyline and a healthy dose of mystery, suspense, action and adventure.  Thrillers have always been a favorite genre of mine, in both Hindi and English films as well as in popular fiction.  Thus, you will also find other ‘Thrillers’ sections elsewhere on this website under Hindi Movies and English Movies.  Note that every thriller book listed here can also be found in other sections such as Mystery/Crime, Action/Adventure/Espionage and Popular Fiction.

The list includes links for several associated items which may be available online for each book: (a) Wikipedia page, (b) e-book, and (c) audiobook.  There is also a column called “More info” with links to optional posts on each book.  [Note: I have chosen not to include links to e-books or audiobooks for titles published after 2010, since these books may be still in print.  Most of them should also be available at your local library.]

Note that the list below is sortable by each column. (Multiple levels of sorting are possible by sorting more than one column in succession, from lowest to highest.)  You can also do an instant filtering of the table by entering a character string in the ‘Search’ field.

Please share any comments or suggestions on this list by filling out this form.  You can use the same form to express interest in becoming a contributor to the site and also request downloadable PDF files for many of the books below.
