A Flicker in the Dark

A Flicker in the Dark

Stacy Willingham

my review : ✮✮✮

When I read the premise of this book, I was sold: daughter of a convicted serial killer becomes a child psychologist. I was fascinated because I feel like this was such a fresh POV!

The book follows Chloe Davis, whose Dad was convicted of kidnapping and murdering 6 teenage girls when she was 12. Her dad is currently behind bars, and she is living a normal life, working as a child psychologist and getting ready for her wedding. As the 20-year anniversary of her dad’s crimes closes in, local teenage girls go missing again…

It was a quick and fast-paced read, but I just found the narrator a bit hard to root for and the plot points to be predictable. If it seems I’m being too hard on this book, it may be because I’ve been spoiled by incredible stories lately!

Is it wrong to say I’m tired of the female pill-popping narrator, who I don’t know if I can trust?

Still a quick and engrossing read, best paired with an A La Louisiane cocktail as a nod to where the book is based!

you’ll love this book if you love:

• An unreliable narrator

• Psychological thrillers
