It's a page turner with an unexpected ending. ( ) Ooh, this is a fun one! Debut author Stacy Willingham knocked A Flicker in the Dark out of the park. Chloe Davis has spent the past 20 years doing everything she can to get past the events that occurred during the summer when she was 12, when her father was arrested and convicted as a serial killer of six 15-year old girls in their small town of ten thousand people. Following her dad’s arrest and conviction, Chloe’s mom stopped actively living and caring for her children, 12-year old Chloe and 15-year old Cooper. Chloe becomes a psychologist and meets the man of her dreams, Daniel. But within the month prior to their wedding, girls that had ties to Chloe begin to turn up missing; just like before. This is a fast-paced book filled with just enough this and that to keep you guessing who really done it - after all, Chloe’s dad has been in the maximum security prison for the past 20-years, so he can’t be the new killer. And does that mean he wasn’t the original killer? I can say I did not guess who the culprit was, I thought I knew where it was going, just as the author wanted me to—well done! If you are a Lisa Gardner fan, you will LOVE this book. I can’t wait to read another from Stay Willingham. For a debut novel, Stacy Willingham knocked this one right out of the park! The pages pulled me in right from the beginning and still clinging on right until the end. And the end, wow, lots of twists that you won't see coming. I loved the personal details that she gave to he characters, to really give them a personal feeling from the reader's standpoint. Chloe, she definitely has some serious issues, but I was still pulling for her right until the very end. This is definitely a book worth reading! An amazing debut.... A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham is an amazing psychological thriller by a debut author. The characters, the plot, and the climax—everything is just perfect, like a motion picture. The plot engages you right from the start and keeps you on edge with every page. All the characters are distinct and have a storyline. And the best thing is that all of them are under suspicion. Chloe's character was so interesting. She is not perfect; she has problems, which eventually set the plot on fire. And when you think everything is resolved, the author drops the final bomb. Stacy Willingham's writing style is excellent, giving the characters a shade of darkness. And the book keeps getting better and better. I must say that it is one of the best thrillers I have read this year. Definitely, the book deserves 5 stars. It was fine. Not great, just fine. Chloe was a well-written character and I enjoyed her. I thought there were too many male characters (the story didn't need the alarm installation guy), the female characters were written as weak, and the author has Chloe going for her PhD in psychology and then her MA? It's the other way around -- MA, then PhD. Little things like that make me wonder about the author's attention to detail. Parts of the book required that you suspend disbelief. What high school kid is going to have enough money to ship off his 13-year old sister to a strange, new city, and have her live there, alone, without authorities checking up on that situation? And how is the severely brain damaged mom going to comprehend conversation and create a system of communication that involves spelling?! It was all a little too much. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"From debut author Stacy Willingham comes a masterfully done, lyrical thriller, certain to be the launch of an amazing career. A Flicker in the Dark is eerily compelling to the very last page. When Chloe Davis was twelve, six teenage girls went missing in her small Louisiana town. By the end of the summer, her own father had confessed to the crimes and was put away for life, leaving Chloe and the rest of her family to grapple with the truth and try to move forward while dealing with the aftermath. Now twenty years later, Chloe is a psychologist in Baton Rouge and getting ready for her wedding. While she finally has a fragile grasp on the happiness she's worked so hard to achieve, she sometimes feels as out of control of her own life as the troubled teens who are her patients. So when a local teenage girl goes missing, and then another, that terrifying summer comes crashing back. Is she paranoid, seeing parallels from her past that aren't actually there, or for the second time in her life, is Chloe about to unmask a killer?"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
