I just finished All the Dangerous Things by Stacy Willingham and here are my musings.
It's been a year. A year since Isabelle's life was turned upside down. Her son, her toddler son Mason, was stolen from his crib while she and her husband slept. There are no leads, no clues and no rest for Isabelle.
She is running on virtually no sleep and talking to true crime people to get her story out there. On the flight home from her latest keynote, Isabelle ends up sitting next to a true crime podcaster.... The police still have nothing so she decides to go on the podcast in hopes someone can give her some fresh perspective and new leads. Little does she know that the interviews will shake loose things she had forgotten in her past... Beginning to not trust what she remembers, Isabelle begins to question everything and everyone around her....
This is the kind of thriller that once you pick up, you can't put down until you are finished. I don't think you know how hard it is to do things with one hand when you won't put your kindle down but you have chores to do. It was worth it though. The author weaved a dark tale with the kind of twists and turns that will keep you guessing until the very end.
Isabelle is the epitome of an unreliable narrator and her journey in trying to discover what happened to her son was a whirlwind of darkness and hidden trauma. I always felt the underlying mild panic of being completely unnerved by what was happening. I didn't much care for any of the characters in it and everyone seemed to have secrets and agendas which just added to the excitement.
If you love a good twister thriller that will keep you on your toes.... This is the book for you!
5 stars! Genius writing.
