A bit of genre context
Modern detective fiction is often traced to Edgar Allan Poe’s early detective tales, while later “Golden Age” mysteries popularized fair-play clueing and tightly constructed puzzles. Thrillers evolved alongside this tradition by emphasizing speed, danger, and psychological tension, often keeping the reader one step behind the truth.
