"Exceptionally smart, entertaining . . . [Willingham's] denouement is both surprising and plausible." The Washington Post

Willingham pulls together a tight, involving plot with a solid psychological look at the effects of a horrid crime on the Davises, the victims' families and the small community. . . The gripping A Flicker in the Dark sets a terrific course for the new year, shining a bright light on a new author to savor in Willingham." - Oline Cogdill, South Florida Sun Sentinel
