If you loved how Thick as Thieves buried its characters under the weight of decades-old secrets—pulling them into danger they never asked for—then A Flicker in the Dark knows exactly where your adrenaline lives. Stacy Willingham delivers that same electric dread: a protagonist haunted by her father's crimes, now watching history threaten to repeat itself with bone-chilling precision. The past isn't just prologue here; it's a loaded gun pointed at everything she's rebuilt, and the suspense burns through every page.
You'll get your romantic tension, too—sharp, cautious, and simmering with the kind of chemistry that shifts from wariness to raw vulnerability. The attraction here doesn't distract from the danger; it amplifies it.
This is suspense that knows how to keep you up past bedtime, no apologies required.
