A Flicker in the Dark - Stacy Willingham - A Short Summary and Review

Image
  A short summary of A Flicker in the Dark: A psychologist is reminded of a serial killer she once knew. My favorite Stacy Willingham quote from the book: "Maybe you need to stop retracing your footsteps. Maybe you need to try a new path." Questions to ponder while reading: When do you change your name? When do you run away? My review: Fun little thriller. Full of tropes. Found myself a little frustrated with Chole's choices. ****** ********************************* a.d. elliott is a wanderer, photographer, and storyteller living in Salem, Virginia.  In addition to her travel writings at  www.takethebackroads.com , you can also read her book reviews at  www.riteoffancy.com  and US military biographies at  www.everydaypatriot.com Her online photography gallery can be found at  shop.takethebackroads.com #TaketheBackRoads Like my page?
