What Makes A Best Thriller Novel?
The books that thrill us are a diverse group: an excellent mix of true crime, mystery, horror, and nontraditional offerings that are gripping in their own right. As always, they offer the most unsettling version of escapism: confronted with the worst of humanity, we still manage to get lost in these stories and feel enriched by them.
Complex characters and thrills that stab you in the heart right out of the blocks, get us in. Murder Secret starts with victim five chained to the under sink pipe having been charred alive. Yes it’ll get your attention and why it’s in the best thriller books category.
We meet Detective Jack Creed withing two paragraphs. A complex 50 something copper whose anti establishment ways have done him no favours in ascending his career. Completely the opposite in fact.
He’s a traditionalist. Nothing flash except his ‘Gucci’ clothing. Readers refer to him as Ian Rankin’s “Rebus in a Valentino suit”.
But when a double barrelled hyphenated surname, divorcee joins his team, the no nonsense, highly opinionated, crank pot Jack Creed becomes even more brooding.
But he’s desperate. His team is falling apart. He needs new officers, even if they are inexperienced.
Enter Jo Boston-Wright, daughter of a well respected retired policeman. She’ll have big shoes to fill and Jack wont’t give her an easy ride. She’ll have to earn her place in this male dominated Murder Squad. And she won’t get much help from the admin girls either – they all have balls as well.
Jo stumbles a bit but she’s determined to to show the chauvinists up. When she unearths a vital piece of evidence, they all sit up and take notice.
Could it be the break through this ten year old case needs? If she’s right she’ll be the town’s hero but if she’s wrong she’ll end not only her career but Creed’s as well.
You won’t pick the ending in this gripping psychological read from the best thriller books category. Read it here MurderSecretBook.com
Why Austin Macauley Publishing?
They’ve been terrific to work with. Very supportive all the way.
Based in London and founded in 2006, Austin Macauley™ is a forward-thinking independent publisher working hard to give our authors especially in the best thriller books genre the best chance of success in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
Austin Macauley Publishing Makes Submissions Easy
Austin Macauley™’s winning policy is to cast our net as widely as possible in search of great books. At a time when publishers and literary agents are closing their doors even to authors with a proven track record, we continue to accept unsolicited work from both new and established writers.
To help them with the sometimes daunting and nerve-wracking task of sending their cherished work to a publisher, we endeavour to make our submission process as friendly and efficient as possible.
From the very beginning we have worked with the ‘hybrid’ model of publishing contracts, which has become increasingly popular in recent years.
This means that while we look at every new manuscript with a view to offering a traditional mainstream publishing deal, we also have the option of offering a partnership agreement instead, where the author may be asked to cover part of the cost of publishing the book.
It is only when our editors have reviewed the complete manuscript thoroughly that we will be able to decide which avenue would be most suitable for that book.
Once a writer is accepted as one of Austin Macauley™’s authors, they can expect a very high level of care in turning their manuscript into a book that is beautiful both inside and out.
With our large team of editors, typesetters, designers, illustrators and proofreaders, an author can be confident that we have the expertise to bring out and enhance their book’s true potential, whatever its size and complexity – whether a slim volume of poetry, a glossy cookery book, a colourful children’s story or a scholarly thesis.
More than just paperbacks
In addition to paperback and hardback, we now bring out all our publications in a variety of eBook formats. This makes it possible for an author’s work to be read on the Amazon Kindle, the Apple iPad and many other devices. A number of our titles are also released as audiobooks.
