Description
About the Book
"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. 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?"--Book Synopsis

There were some parts to the story that made me wonder why it was proceeding that way but otherwise, I liked it. It was my first book by Stacy Willingham and I’d try another.
Suspensful and addictive

I like the cover and book title and that’s it! The story was predictable and I figured out who did it in the first 30 pages. The style of writing, research and content is not very developed.
Amazing debut!

I have never recommended or given a book as much as I have with this one. If you’re looking for something with multiple plot twists, then this is the book. It had me hooked!!!!!
