Naomi Shaw used to believe in magic. Twenty-two years ago, she and her two best friends, Cassidy and Olivia, spent the summer roaming the woods, imagining a world of ceremony and wonder. They called it the Goddess Game. The summer ended suddenly when Naomi was attacked. Miraculously, she survived her seventeen stab wounds and lived to identify the man who had hurt her. The girls’ testimony put away a serial killer, wanted for murdering six women. They were heroes.

Story
Psychiatrist Dr. Gwen Moore is an expert on killers. She’s spent a decade treating California’s most depraved predators and unlocking their motives - predators much like the notorious Bloody Heart serial killer, whose latest teenage victim escaped and then identified local high school teacher Randall Thompson as his captor. The case against Thompson as the Bloody Heart Killer is damning - and closed, as far as Gwen and the media are concerned. If not for one new development.

Publisher's Summary
Best Thrillers of 2022
She thought the murders had stopped. She was wrong.
The instant New York Times bestseller, soon to be a major TV series, developed by Emma Stone
Chloe Davis’ father is a serial killer.
He was convicted and jailed when she was 12, but the bodies of the girls were never found, seemingly lost in the surrounding Louisiana swamps. The case became notorious, and Chloe’s family was destroyed.
His crimes stalk her like a shadow.
Now Chloe has rebuilt her life. She’s a respected psychologist in Baton Rouge and has a loving fiancé. But she just can’t shake a tick-tick-tick of paranoia that, at any moment, it might all come crashing down.
As does something darker.
It is the anniversary of her father’s crimes, and Chloe is about to see her worst fears come true—a girl she knows goes missing.
The nightmare has started again....
Critic Reviews
"A smart, edge-of-your-seat story with plot twists you’ll never see coming. Stacy Willingham’s debut will keep you turning pages long past your bedtime." (Karin Slaughter, Sunday Times best-selling author)
"An impressive debut - full of switchback twists." (Cara Hunter, author of the Sunday Times best-selling DI Fawley series)
"Haunting, lyrical and utterly compelling! These are just a few of the words of praise one could use to describe A Flicker in the Dark. Author Willingham takes us on an unstoppable journey through the psychology of evil, and of courage (in many senses), all told in a pitch-perfect literary style. Once you start reading, you will not put it down." (Jeffery Deaver, author of the Sunday Times best-selling Lincoln Rhyme and Colter Shaw series)

Crime, drama and tangents!
The author goes off on annoying tangents. Telling the reader things they have already read several times. The story is good, but the main character is a bit annoying.

Soo disappointed
The audiobook was a slow burn. It would jump to different storylines throughout the book. More investigation and twist needed.
Wasn't much of a twist, I easily caught on before it even finished.
Can't believe they're making a tv show based on this !!
Super disappointed with it.

You will never know who did it
I usually can pick who the killer is but in this book I couldn’t. I was suspecting from everyone. Everyone had a motif. Amazing book. Cant wait how the tv series are adapted but I doubt as any other book it be as good as the real one

Good premise annoying character
Loved the the idea of the story. Liked the mystery the suspense and the twist. But the main character was infuriating. So many instances where I almost didn’t finish because I just didn’t like the main character. But I stuck it out just to see if I was correct in guessing the twist.
