When we read thrillers, we often think we would make the smart choices and would solve the mystery and/or come out the other end alive. It’s easy to feel that way as a reader, when you’re on the outside looking in, but would we be as smart if we were actual characters in a thriller? In this quiz, I walk you through the day in the life of a character in a thriller novel so you can see how you would fare. Good luck.
