Flicker in the Dark follows Chloe, our main character, who had a dark past. Her dad, when she was 12, committed a heinous crime, he murdered 6 teenage girls. Of course that would haunt Chloe for the rest of her life. Then, 20 years later a teenage girl went missing, and that's when her memory resurfaced and she started thinking about what had happened 20 years ago constantly, she thought it was just a coincidence, that she was just haunted by the past.
But it was not. There were just to much similarities between the two cases, one: the murders that her father committed, and two: the disappearance of the young girl, which mark the 20 year anniversary. But her father was in jail, so who was doing these crimes?
In this book you would second guess yourself. You would be drag through Chloe's anxiety and her mental state (her second guessing herself was it paranoia? was it real?) because of what happened to her when she was a child, you would see her cope and finally accept it. Truly the character was amazing.
It started slow, but I promise you the ending would not be disappointing. The pace is fast, a page-turner, and it has less than 400 pages, perfect for a cozy thriller read.

The characters aren't nece sarily lovable but are deeply imperfect in a relatable way. The author does a great job of depicting CPTSD and other mental health issues.
