Is A Flicker in the Dark part of a series?

No. A Flicker in the Dark is a standalone psychological thriller. Stacy Willingham's later novels, All the Dangerous Things and Only If You're Lucky, are separate standalone stories rather than sequels.

What inspired Stacy Willingham to write A Flicker in the Dark?

Willingham has said her longtime fascination with criminal psychology and true crime led to the book. A specific spark was seeing footage of BTK serial killer Dennis Rader walking his daughter down the aisle years before his identity was known, which made her wonder how a killer's family copes with not knowing. That question became the basis for Chloe Davis, a serial killer's daughter.
