Sub-genres of Thriller/suspense are similar to action/adventure in that they tend to focus on events and moving things along.  But where Action/adventure is focused more on fun/mystery, Thriller/Suspense is focused more on fear/horror. There tends to be a mystery element as well. Tends to have deeper engagement with the character to make you care if they survive. The Thriller sub-genres tend to be edge of your seat and villan driven. Suspense is more towards the mystery end of the spectrum.
