At age twelve, Chloe Davis was the daughter of a man who confessed to killing six teenage girls.  Understandably, this shaped the rest of her life.  Twenty years later she is a psychologist and planning her wedding.  When two young girls are reported missing, aspects of their cases feel familiar.  Coincidences?  Because her relationship with the local police is rocky, she conducts her own investigation.  Will she be able to come to terms with what the investigation yields?

Almost every character in this story is flawed, which creates a pool of possible suspects. The author builds the suspense slowly. Searching for answers, Chloe undertakes an exploration of her parent's life choices. Gradually, deeply buried memories surface.  Her quest for answers places her in precarious situations.  Tension is kept high throughout the story. Chloe doesn't know who to trust and there is a good reason for this.

I found A FLICKER IN THE DARK to be an emotionally charged and haunting thriller. Clever, tense and absorbing, the author brings it all together with a memorable ending.  Highly recommended.
