Congratulations to Stacy Willingham for publishing her debut novel A Flicker in the Dark. This well-written thriller kept me engaged throughout the plot's twists and turns.
The premise: When Chloe Davis was 12, her father was put in prison as a serial killer responsible for killing several young girls. Soon after, her mother became severely disabled, leaving Chloe and her older brother Cooper to be raised by family members. At age 32, Chloe is finally finding happiness and success - her new psychology practice is growing and she's engaged to Daniel. But on the 20th anniversary of her father's conviction, teen girls begin to go missing ... and Chloe's past haunts her again, especially when details of the current murders match her father's crimes.
I don't read many thrillers and I enjoy being surprised, and this book provided lots of red herrings in the course of unraveling the mystery. I didn't always agree with Chloe's actions, but I appreciated that the loops were closed by the end of the story.
I'm grateful to Minotaur Books, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley for the review copies of this great debut. I'm eager to read Ms. Willingham's next novel.
