A Flicker in the Dark, Stacy Willingham

Ooh, this is a fun one! Debut author Stacy Willingham knocked A Flicker in the Dark out of the park.

Chloe Davis has spent the past 20 years doing everything she can to get past the events that occurred during the summer when she was 12, when her father was arrested and convicted as a serial killer of six 15-year old girls in their small town of ten thousand people. Following her dad’s arrest and conviction, Chloe’s mom stopped actively living and caring for her children, 12-year old Chloe and 15-year old Cooper.

Chloe becomes a psychologist and meets the man of her dreams, Daniel. But within the month prior to their wedding, girls that had ties to Chloe begin to turn up missing; just like before.

This is a fast-paced book filled with just enough this and that to keep you guessing who really done it - after all, Chloe’s dad has been in the maximum security prison for the past 20-years, so he can’t be the new killer. And does that mean he wasn’t the original killer?

I can say I did not guess who the culprit was, I thought I knew where it was going, just as the author wanted me to—well done!

If you are a Lisa Gardner fan, you will LOVE this book. I can’t wait to read another from Stay Willingham.
