    Stephen,

    Re your comment below:

    "I think 'thriller' probably also gets used, loosely, as a synonym for 'crime story' or 'suspense story.'"

    I found that to be true in England. When I went shopping at Murder One (which, thank God, I did when I had the chance), the guy behind the counter used "thriller" as a way of distinguishing from the non-fiction the store sold.
