A New York Times Bestseller

“A smart, edge-of-your-seat story with plot twists you’ll never see coming. Stacy Willingham’s debut will keep you turning pages long past your bedtime.” —Karin Slaughter

When Chloe Davis was twelve, six teenage girls went missing in her small Louisiana town. By the end of the summer, her own father had confessed to the crimes and was put away for life, leaving Chloe and the rest of her family to grapple with the truth and try to move forward while dealing with the aftermath.

Now twenty years later, Chloe is a psychologist in Baton Rouge and getting ready for her wedding. While she finally has a fragile grasp on the happiness she’s worked so hard to achieve, she sometimes feels as out of control of her own life as the troubled teens who are her patients. So when a local teenage girl goes missing, and then another, that terrifying summer comes crashing back. Is she paranoid, seeing parallels from her past that aren't actually there, or for the second time in her life, is Chloe about to unmask a killer?

From debut author Stacy Willingham comes a masterfully done, lyrical thriller, certain to be the launch of an amazing career. A Flicker in the Dark is eerily compelling to the very last page.

Loved

This was a great book! I really liked the pacing and the way the story was told from an unreliable perspective. It kept me guessing what was true and what wasn’t, and I definitely didn’t guess the ending, which is always a good thing! Would recommend to mystery/thriller fans.

Good story but…

The overall story was good;however, if you’re not someone who likes excruciating detail to the point that you’re skipping lines and thinking to yourself “get on with the story already” - you’ll hate this book. I found it to drag horribly. I don’t need 4 large paragraphs describing every single detail of a room before getting to the dialogue or anything relevant to the story. If you don’t mind that then good for you! You’ll love this! I also didn’t love the ending.

Terrible

I can’t even begin to imagine how this book has a four star rating. It’s been quite awhile since I wanted a book to be over so very badly. The main character isn’t likeable which is rough because it’s a first person narrative all from her. Not only is there nothing likeable about her but she’s also a drug abusing psychologist who writes fraudulent prescriptions and meets with clients under the influence. She’s also every negative stereotype of those in the helping profession. Pass on this book. Don’t waste your money.
