Prezi--wow! A lot of work describing a lot of subgenres! Very useful! (Awkward to zoom in and out, but very clever.)
Finally I think I have a much better understanding of thriller categories--complete with author names.
Techno--Clancy
Legal--Grisham or Defending Jacob
Espionage--classic--LeCarre, Furst
--modern political terrorism--Flynn
Medical--Palmer, Crichton
Cipher--D'Amato
Exotic- Cussler
I learned a lot about the divisions of urban fiction and romance. And even science fiction.
Lots of mystery subgenres, but they left out my favorite--the classic old fashioned mysteries--Allingham, Tey, and Sayers! And where would they put Maisie Dobbs and Laurie King and No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency?!
What about LGBT subgenres--romance, fantasy, teen, etc.?
