Charleston SC Native Stacy Willingham's Third Novel Is Another Keep You Guessing Page Turner

Jeff Walker,  Entertainment Writer

How long does it take for strangers to become friends, lets alone best friends? Do drunken bouts of 'truth or dare' reveal your innermost thoughts? Following in that line of questioning, would you commit a serious crime if you were certain you'd get away with it, even if it was murder? 

Those are just a few of the storylines presented in 'Only If You're Lucky', the latest novel from New York Times best selling author Stacy Willingham. Having already proved her literary prowess in 'A Flicker In The Dark' and 'All The Dangerous Things' the Charleston SC native returns with another hard to put down 360 page hypnotic thriller. 

Margot has been living her childhood through her more free-spirited best friend Eliza. However, when Eliza mysteriously dies prior the the two heading off to college together, will the more reticent Margot adjust to unfamiliar surroundings? Despite her inhibitions at school, Margot was definitely not ready to come face to face with someone connected to Eliza's death.

The summer after her freshmen year Margot appears to be ready to test the wild side of college life. Sharing a house with three young ladies next door to a few young men allows for a carefree lifestyle and frequent bad decisions. 

Will drawing closer to Lucy, the wild and crazy party girl help Margot break out of her shell, or will Lucy lead her and the two other room-mates down the wrong path? When someone in the summer circle turns up dead during their sophomore year, and another person is missing will newly formed friendships be tested?

While 'Only If You're Lucky' might be a clever title twist, it could have easily had been named 'Only If You're Clever' or 'Deceptive'. Stacy Willingham has already proven she's adept at keeping her readers guessing, and in her third outing she continues her masterfulness.

'Only If You're Lucky' is a well descriptive psychological suspense novel and proof Willingham has a long storytelling life ahead of her. For more on this gifted author visit her website at https://www.stacywillingham.com/
