Sharp Objects meets The Silent Patient—moody, atmospheric, and riddled with secrets.
When Chloe Davis was twelve, six teenage girls vanished in her small Louisiana town. Her father confessed and went to prison. Now, twenty years later, Chloe is a successful psychologist—but when girls start disappearing again, old wounds rip open. Is history repeating itself, or is Chloe being haunted by shadows she can’t escape? With its sultry Southern setting and slow-burn dread, A Flicker in the Dark is a debut that grips tight and won’t let go.
Why you’ll love it: It’s chilling, layered, and brimming with unreliable-narrator tension. The kind of thriller that’ll keep you second-guessing every character—including Chloe herself.
📖 Condition: Like-new—tight spine, pristine pages, ready for a binge read with the lights on.
💘 Perfect for: Fans of psychological thrillers, Southern gothic vibes, and anyone who devoured Verity or The Last House on Needless Street.
