A question for you guys: How plausible does a high concept thriller need to be? ALL Dan Browns books cross the line and are not speculative? So are many other best sellers.
Does Gone Girl have an improbable plot?
Is Girl on a train is far fetched and highly coincidental?
And, Where the Crawdads Sing…I mean, really? But it works great doesn’t it?!
So is it ok the cross the line a bit with an exciting plot? And does the reader care?
I’m asking for a friend!!!
