A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham
mysterious
medium-paced
4.0
I had such high expectations for this book after reading early reviews and learning it has already been picked up for a series adaptation.
At the age of 12, Chloe Davis' world is turned upside-down when her father is convicted of murdering six teenage girls during the Summer of '99. 20 years later, Chloe is a Psychologist with her own practice and has channelled her childhood trauma into helping others. When the upcoming Anniversary of her father's crimes brings about a nosey reporter, a patient goes missing and Chloe finds herself fighting an overwhelming sense of déjà vu.
Final Thoughts:
Full disclosure, I had the ending of this one pegged fairly early on.. But! that doesn't at all mean I didn't thoroughly enjoy the unravelling experience, because there were definitely moments I was second-guessing my hypothesis 🤔
A Flicker in the Dark is a fantastic debut for Stacey Willingham, it's well written with a slow burn (in my opinion) and the storyline of a serial killer's daughter is certainly an intriguing one. I will definitely be checking out her future releases and the series adaptation as well.
