Review: A Flicker In The Dark by Stacy Willingham and Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister

For this review, I am going to be writing about a book I read and another I listened to on audiobook. A Flicker In The Dark by Stacy Willingham is about a psychologist who is the daughter of a convicted serial killer. Chloe, the psychologist, has struggled with the fact that what her father did destroyed their family. Her mother is in a nursing home, and her brother Cooper does not like her fiancé Daniel. Then teenage girls start to go missing just like twenty years before when her father was convicted of murder. Both girls are found murdered. One of the girls was a new patient of Chloe and the other girl she and Daniel had met when she had looked at venues for their wedding. Chloe starts to suspect people around her, including a father of one of the girls her father was convicted of killing, and especially her fiancé Daniel when she discovers a piece of evidence in their closet, of being the killer. There is a twist that involves a journalist from New York and surprising for Chloe, revelations about other members of her family. I did like this book. I thought the twist about the journalist was ok, if a little convenient.Overall a good read. I would give this 3 stars out of five. Content warnings: some strong language, mild sensual content, descriptions of murder.

The next book is Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister. I listened to this one on audio book and liked it so much.The story is about a woman, Jen, who witnesses her son stabbing another man to death and she is shocked by what she saw. Her son is arrested and is taken away. Jen is heartbroken and her husband is angry about the situation. Then she goes to sleep and the next day something strange has happened: she had woken up the day before the murder. Jen is shocked and eventually as she keeps waking up in each day in the past, she realizes she might be able to change the future for her family. I liked the narration to this book, and I thought it was a interesting plot and had good twists. I would give it 3.7 stars. Content warnings: some strong language, descriptions of stabbing, murder.
