A Flicker in the Dark
Chloe Davis thought she left her traumatic past behind, but when teenage girls start disappearing in her town, she's forced to confront the chilling possibility that history is repeating itself. Her own father confessed to similar crimes two decades ago, leaving Chloe to wonder if she's seeing ghosts or if a new killer is at large. As she prepares for her wedding, Chloe must determine if her paranoia is getting the best of her, or if she's about to unmask a murderer for the second time in her life.
Chloe's fiancé, a pharmaceutical sales representative.
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.
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.
