Wessel Ebersohn’s fifteenth rule of thriller writing

The last rule was about looking after the flat spots, the bits that come between the high points. While the flat spots are important, it is essential that they fascinate the readers. Your readers must read them as eagerly as any other part of the book. This is the part of the thriller when you lay out the background to the story. It has to hold the attention of your readers. They have to be turning the pages eagerly to experience the unfolding of the story. That way they will still be there when the excitement heats up.
