This was not a bad read, rather predictable, but still not too bad. Worth reading once.

First thought of this book was really I already know who the killer is! I was angry at the book when I thought I’d figured it out. But joke was on me! The ending had me guessing and so confused. I’m so happy the writer had Daniel be a good guy. I thought for sure he was the murderer. But in fact he was a hero. Happy ending with the dad getting out of jail. I hope Chloe gets to have a wonderful life now.
it was a nice book, but I never really got into it for some reason.
but the plot was way too predictable, After about 40 pages I already knew the brother was the serial killer, not her dad I think that was too obvious but other than that it was fine.

Stacy got me! I thought I had it all figured out but she got me… I almost gave it four stars but the ending won me over. A fun read with good character development and a solid twist!

this book was mid 😐 only picked up in the last 20%. the twists were okay at best, but for a thriller it was really slow 🥱 mad me lose interest halfway through.
*Flicker in the Dark* is an outstanding debut that had me hooked from the very first page. Stacy Willingham crafts a suspenseful and atmospheric thriller that is impossible to put down. The protagonist, Chloe Davis, is a compelling and complex character whose dark past and present collide in a chilling mystery. The plot twists and turns kept me guessing until the very end, and the vivid descriptions made me feel like I was right there in the small Louisiana town.
Willingham's writing is sharp and engaging, and she masterfully weaves together a story of secrets, trauma, and the shadows that haunt us. This is a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers who enjoy a well-paced and intricately plotted story. *A Flicker in the Dark* is an impressive and haunting debut that leaves a lasting impression. I can't wait to see what Stacy Willingham writes next!

I almost DNF’d this book because the first few chapters were slow and incredibly boring. I enjoyed it more as the book went on, although the main character is quite annoying with most of her choices and actions. Lots of twists towards the end, I thought I figured out the original killer (which I did) but then I was gaslit into thinking it was someone else. Then the whole truth reveal didn’t make much sense, because how do you just ‘convince’ someone to become a copycat? “He made me do it.” Like, what?? The middle of the story was solid, it’s just a shame that the ending fell flat.
