I am asking because I heard that Lee child and C. J. Box write more thrillers rather than proper mysteries.

The Jack Reacher novels are mix of what I would call "men's adventure," "thriller" and "detective" genres.
Reacher was a military police investigator, and in many of the stories, his investigative abilities are heavily relied on to figure out who's doing what to whom and why.
Others focus more on his ability to put a serious hurt on bad guys.
Let me also mention, as I just finished it last week, Robert Galbraith's (aka JKR) Cuckoo's Calling, is a really enjoyable straight up private eye mystery.
