A Flicker in the Dark by Stacy Willingham
5.0
adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This book had me both questioning my own judgement and boosting my insightful ego. 70 pages in, I felt let down - disappointed that such a prospective novel failed to leave me in suspense because "I already know." Another 30 pages and well, okay maybe I was wrong, but it's still *too* obvious. And then another progression and I was wrong again. This is exactly the kind of mystery novel people should read! Especially as an introductory novel to the genre - it was gripping for a multitude of reasons, and I'm glad I stuck around to the end!
