“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.

You want to kill the protagonist

The protagonist makes so many questionable choices that it's hard to listen to this story without rolling your eyes every few minutes. First and last one by this author, I am afraid.

Fast paced read

I really enjoyed this book. It was a fast listen with a good story line, which is what I like in an audible book. I can listen while performing other tasks and it holds my attention. The only drawback, as with a lot of suspense genre is the female protagonist makes decisions that an intelligent, educated, adult female would not normally make. While it was explained away in a fairly plausible way in this book, it did bother me.,

Interesting

This book is one of the most recommended books of 2022. It is also a debut by the author. It has a good premise and is an easy and fast read. Almost from the beginning I have decided who the villain will be. But there are many twists and turns and a surprise ending..


RECOMMENDATION: Read it

Great book!!!

Oh my gosh! What an amazing book! Definitely worth the purchase!!! Twists and turns you’ll never expect!

One of my favorites now!

A bit of a slow start at the beginning but wow the end was amazing. I really did not see that coming. I almost stopped reading the book when I got into the middle because I thought I already knew who the killer was, but really wasn’t expecting the end. Nice to have a true shock value, not many books have that. Didn’t enjoy the reader as much but the story def makes up for it!

Best narration I have herd so far

Although it’s great story and the way it’s told is great. I knew the ending within the first 2 chapters. Not exactly how it ends but those times where you figure out the end but still want to stick around and hear the story. The reason i stayed was the narration.

Omg! Omg! Omg! Must listen

Let me put this in perspective. I have an hour commute to work. Audible is my life. This is the best I’ve heard in a long time & I’ve heard a lot of good ones. It’s surprising up to the very end. Kept me on edge. So entertaining

Slow and Repetitive

The story keeps you coming back, but the main characters weak internal dialog and need for self medication fills more of the book than necessary.

OH EM GEEE

so so good! everything I predicted or thought was going to happen was so so wrong! amazing narrator and so well written.

Edge of seat listening

Easy listen with twists and turns and just when you think you know,,,you don’t. Good read
