“This is the new Gillian Flynn novel that we’ve all gotten tired of waiting for, except of course it isn’t, because it was written by talented newcomer Stacy Willingham. Trading in Flynn’s Midwest for Baton Rouge and small-town Louisiana, the setting is as much a character in the novel as the deeply, murderously dysfunctional family and its prodigal daughter.

Lyrical, atmospheric, and of course filled with gut-punching twists, A Flicker in the Dark will more than fill that Gillian Flynn craving.”

Funny, because this novel is filled with word play, dry humor, witty twists, and characters you love – and characters you love to hate. Narrated with British reserve by voice artist Simon Vance (nominated for more Audie awards than any other narrator), and fantastic actor Neil Patrick Harris. A perfect listen when you want something that brightens your day – in a darkly funny way.”
