Publisher's Summary
She thought the murders had stopped. She was wrong. The instant New York Times bestseller and a Sunday Times Thriller of the Year, soon to be a major TV series, developed by Emma Stone

‘I couldn’t put this one down’ Prima
‘This was dark! Edge of your seen stuff… incredibly atmospheric and tricky.’Platinum
Chloe Davis’ father is a serial killer.
He was convicted and jailed when she was twelve but the bodies of the girls were never found, seemingly lost in the surrounding Louisiana swamps. The case became notorious and Chloe’s family was destroyed.
His crimes stalk her like a shadow.
Now Chloe has rebuilt her life. She’s a respected psychologist in Baton Rouge and has a loving fiancé.
But she just can’t shake a tick-tick-tick of paranoia that, at any moment, it might all come crashing down.
As does something darker.
It is the anniversary of her father’s crimes, and Chloe is about to see her worst fears come true –
a girl she knows goes missing.
The nightmare has started again…
Critic Reviews
"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, Sunday Times best-selling author)
"An impressive debut - full of switchback twists." (Cara Hunter, author of the Sunday Times best-selling DI Fawley series)
"Haunting, lyrical and utterly compelling! These are just a few of the words of praise one could use to describe A Flicker in the Dark. Author Willingham takes us on an unstoppable journey through the psychology of evil, and of courage (in many senses), all told in a pitch-perfect literary style. Once you start reading, you will not put it down." (Jeffery Deaver, author of the Sunday Times best-selling Lincoln Rhyme and Colter Shaw series)

Just okay, good twist at very end
I found the vocals to be okay, too slow so I just turned speed up. The story itself isn’t what I expected until the last 1/4 of book - the “thriller” part is too slow and it’s more of a story about her childhood trauma of her dad being a serial killer.

meh
Decent plot ruined by: a main character who was a bit too insipid too often, overexplaining, overacted torturous narration...

Good read
Thought the book was good, some great parts, some that dragged a little. The ending was definitely worth it. I thought I knew exactly what was going to happen and I didn’t!!

You will never know who did it
I usually can pick who the killer is but in this book I couldn’t. I was suspecting from everyone. Everyone had a motif. Amazing book. Cant wait how the tv series are adapted but I doubt as any other book it be as good as the real one

Crime, drama and tangents!
The author goes off on annoying tangents. Telling the reader things they have already read several times. The story is good, but the main character is a bit annoying.

Twists and turns
I really enjoyed this book. The narration could be a bit slow at times, however the plot was good. I did predict the ending slightly, but overall it was an interesting listen. Would love to see a TV series made about it
