Thriller sub-genre

Is there a genre that could be called "Safe Thriller"? It seems that all thriller novels are R rated. A PG rated thriller could still be engaging and serious without gross content. Similar to a "Cozy Mystery"?

Goosebumps would probably be your closest bet to what you are looking for. It is children/teen series that does a PG horror/thriller story. I use to read them a ton growing up and I hate horror or thrillers for that matter.

This is the sort of question you can best answer with a stroll down to your local bookstore. But consider: thrills come from danger. You need to be strapped in to ride the roller coaster. A book let's you take a thrill ride with the safety harness off. The roller coaster is probably the preferred source of safe thrills.
