siakou96 's review for:
A Flicker in the Dark
by Stacy Willingham
The rating is more like 2.5/5.
For someone who read plenty of detective stories, films and tv series I can definitely say I’m more accustomed to solving mysteries from the detective’s perspective.
This didn’t help at all with the "mysterious” aspect of this books cause the outcome was quite clear to me from early on.
I just wanted to get to the end to see the details and if I was right.
Other than that, there were plenty of WTF moments that just worked but the extreme stupidity of it all was quite obvious.
In my opinion, if you’re relying on the main character making stupid decisions in order to keep the plot running for another 100 pages, you’re doing something wrong.
But cherry on top was the ending.
The only place the author could provide a clear view of what happens next that nobody could have predicted just didn’t and decided to close everything off in a poetic way that I didn’t enjoy at all.
