Hello everyone,
How much details do you want to know about the main hero and other characters in a suspense thriller? Do you care why the bad guy is bad or do you just want him eliminated since he is "the bad guy?" Do you want to know why the hero is a CSIS agent or you just applaud his efforts knowing very little about his background?
I am at a stage in my WIP, after setting the objective of a CSIS mission, where I can explore the backgrounds and the minds of the characters - I am just not sure whether this will bore the reader and slow the pace of the action.
What do you think?
Thanks,
ED
