A FLICKER IN THE DARK

A FLICKER IN THE DARK by Stacy Willingham

I'm going to start off this post by saying that A FLICKER IN THE DARK is definitely a king in plot twists. Once the story gets going, it will keep you on the edge of your seat. However, there are some parts to be aware of, and even a couple of parts I skipped over due to content.

In a small, Louisiana town everyone knows each other. At least, they think they do. The summer Chloe Davis is on the brink of becoming a teenager, girls start disappearing. The whole town is in an uproar trying to find the missing girls and the person responsible for their disappearances. When Chloe finds jewelry belonging to them buried in a chest in her father's closet, it's no longer a secret. Her father is sentenced, and ultimately, the family is destroyed in the community.

Fast forward twenty years. Chloe now lives in Baton Rouge and is a psychologist with her own practice. While the past still haunts her, she's made a new start in life and tried to move on. She's been relatively successful at it until girls start disappearing again, and these are girls she knows. Suddenly, she's back in her childhood home remembering the past, but this time her father's in prison, so this must be a copycat, right? Chloe's got to figure it out quickly, because every second that passes could mean the disappearance of another girl.

HEADS UP- There is language in this book including some f-bombs. There are a couple of sex scenes. They are not explicit, but there was more there than I am comfortable with, so I skipped over them.
