Written by Elizabeth Smith
If you know me at all, you know I love a good thriller. The way a thrilling and suspenseful story can grip you from start to finish, there really is no comparison. This is the genre that began my love of books and reading, so I love exploring and finding new authors. Below you will find five thrillers released in 2019 by debut authors. I have personally read 3 of the 5 (with the others still on my TBR) and can attest to a fantastic reading experience!
