In the UK, figures showed that crime books had become the bestselling fiction books, with&nbsp;18.7 million&nbsp;sold, compared to 18.1 million general fiction titles. Crime stories seem more popular than ever. Bookshop shelves and TV schedules are heaving with murder mysteries and whodunnits. And the \u2018true crime\u2019 genre was certainly given a new lease of life, with smash-hit documentaries such as Making A Murderer, The Jinx and The Keepers. Is there a reason we love them so?

It seems we are attuned to criminal behaviour, almost as if we are tuned to some kind of unseen frequency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ceb42e7d7f08651897c60d5a323c25a5 wp-block-paragraph\">The knowing of the  \u2018who\u2019, \u2018what\u2019, \u2018when\u2019 and \u2018where\u2019 is said to be so that we can find out what makes criminals tick, in order to better protect ourselves. Let&#8217;s face it we also love to get lost in a great story too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0101532e170840edea5b738b62017ef9 wp-block-paragraph\">This year, the Book of the Year Shortlist, under the category of Crime &amp; Thriller sees a plethora of cosy crime novels, espionage thrillers, and a twisty psychological thriller or two.
