Hi Friend,
I’m pleased to announce the brand-new Spring 2026 Edition of our semi-annual Mystery, Thriller & Suspense Genre Report.
Your Genre Category Map
Our new report is a treasure trove of insights, offering a comprehensive overview of the genre’s performance and a detailed data breakdown of all 152 MTS categories, including Level-4 and Level-5 sub-categories.
The report highlights the MTS categories that have shown the most significant upward or downward trend in the last 12 months.
Sales Trending Up
MTS is a top-performing genre on Amazon. It ranks #2 after romance but shows a more cyclical performance than romance.
The average sales rank of the Top 100 MTS titles has continued its upward trend over the last six months.
A key contributor was certainly the cinematic adaptation of The Housemaid, which grossed nearly $400 million and provided a substantial 'halo effect' for the entire psychological thriller segment, lifting the visibility of the MTS bestseller list overall.
Mystery, thriller, suspense, and crime novels have captured a 30% market share among the 100 best-selling Kindle books of 2025 — and that’s excluding romantic suspense titles.
In a competitive market, access to transparent and reliable data is essential — and that’s exactly what K-lytics delivers:
