Blurb
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?
My Opinion
An amazing debut....
A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham is an amazing psychological thriller by a debut author. The characters, the plot, and the climax—everything is just perfect, like a motion picture. The plot engages you right from the start and keeps you on edge with every page. All the characters are distinct and have a storyline. And the best thing is that all of them are under suspicion. Chloe's character was so interesting. She is not perfect; she has problems, which eventually set the plot on fire. And when you think everything is resolved, the author drops the final bomb.
Stacy Willingham's writing style is excellent, giving the characters a shade of darkness. And the book keeps getting better and better. I must say that it is one of the best thrillers I have read this year. Definitely, the book deserves 5 stars.
