Would you read a crime thriller released in 50–70 page volumes?

hey everyone,

i’m working on a crime thriller/drama called Love & Chaos. The story is divided into separate releases, almost like episodes of a TV series, and each book is around 50–70 pages.

i personally like this format because every volume can have its own arc, climax and ending, while still being part of one bigger story. But I’m curious what readers and writers here think.

would you buy a series of shorter 50–70 page books if the story kept you hooked? Or would you prefer one large novel with everything together?

honestly interested in different opinions.

Suzanne Bronson

As a crime thriller reader, I say, I would prefer one large book. I don't see why you couldn't divide the novel into volumes inside. I have read books that are divided into parts.

Lindbergh Hollingsworth

Yes, you can do this type of format, works best for Kindle and other e-readers. Then when the story is completed you can offer a full book broken down by the individual sections.

James Earl

Stephen King kinda did that with The Green Mile. So why not?
