Description

It will come as no surprise to the reader, then, that Isabelle is coming unglued when we enter her life. Her past is revealed slowly (a bit too slow at times) and it fits well with the main characters growing fear and paranoia. In hopes of jarring loose a new witness or buried clue, she agrees to be interviewed by a true-crime podcaster―but his interest in Isabelle's past makes her nervous.

This is a true-to-life yet completely unbelievable account of how Isabelle finds out what happened to Mason. The book has already been praised as “riveting” (Megan Miranda) and “bingeworthy” (Caroline Kepnes), and it’s sure to be one of fall’s must-read crime novels. Although the analogies are really good, there are too many of them, they become distracting and pull you out of the storyline. When she meets Waylon , who has a true crime pod show , with a huge following, she agrees to talk about the night her son Mason went missing. Although this book is not especially fast paced it seems to me to be pitched just right which makes the unpredictable jolting shocks and jaw droppers really stand out.In fact, I disliked her quite a bit so with her being the sole narrator this book was doomed from the start. I really enjoyed Willingham's earlier release, A Flicker in the Dark, and personally, I think this one is even better. All The Dangerous Things has some chilling and harrowing scenes both from Isabelle's childhood and her current life, she doesn’t know what’s real or not after the sleep deprivation of being a new mother and then having no sleep at all since he disappeared.

I loved the author’s debut novel: “A flicker in the dark” but her newest book exceed my whole expectations and I loved this one even more than her first work!It's also easy for listeners to differentiate the timeline from young Izzy vs now Izzy, male voices and other female characters are very noticeable as well. Suspense and twists, lies and deception, flawed characters and an intriguing well-structured plot make for an engaging psychological thriller.

Moving between past and present, ALL THE DANGEROUS THINGS delves into the darkest corners of the life of one mother as she investigates the disappearance of her son one year prior—and, in the process, confronts long-buried secrets from her own childhood.As the narrative progresses we are taken back to Isabelle’s childhood and the traumatic events that have haunted her throughout her life – events for which Isabelle holds herself responsible.

I thought the whodunnit was believable, and I didn’t figure it out ahead of time, unlike her last book. While Isabelle tries to zero in on possible suspects, often acting impulsively in confronting those whom she suspects, it becomes clear that she is also a suspect in her son’s disappearance in the eyes of the police and others around her. With no one above suspicion and over a year since Mason was taken, will Isabelle be able to figure out what happened on that fateful night? Sleep deprivation is a beast and it's not like Isabelle hasn't struggled with sleep irregularities in the past. I thought there was WAY too much dwelling on her lack of sleep, sleepwalking, keeping herself awake, being tired, micro sleeps, etc.This is also one book in which I would highly recommend reading the Author’s Note once you’ve finished the novel itself; I respected the author all the more for the thought and care she put into this story, as evidenced by this note. She is determined to find him and bring him back home even though she slowly loses the thin line between reality and delusions which force her to take trip down memory lane to face the most tragic event of her childhood.
