“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.

Figured it out immediately

The narrator is excellent. I figured out the villain way too early and it’s obscenely obvious from the start. Ending was horrible. The writing itself was not so bad.

Great story set in the south needs a southern voice

Really enjoyed this book! Great story. Looking forward to the next book by this author. I just wished the narrator had been southern. It would have made listening feel more authentic.

Spine tingling

The chills come early and often in this well written, dark but not gory, twisty mystery/thriller. It kept me guessing and while I saw a few things coming, it made me feel clever more than made anything seem obvious. And the ending was still a surprise.

Narration was better for female voices than male.

Great read!

Loved everything about it. The narration was awesome and the story kept me going to the very end!

fantastic!

this was a fantastic listen. it kept me wanting more and not wanting to stop. the twists and turns were great and a stellar performance by the narrator made this a great find. I hadn't even heard of this novel and decided to get it and going completely blind and I'm so glad that I did. highly recommend
