All the Dangerous Things by Stacy Willingham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
A flawless, stylish, atmospheric psychological thriller about a mother’s worst nightmare come to life. Isabelle Drake puts her toddler son to bed one night, only to wake up the next morning and find he’s not there. She hasn’t slept since that day. Not properly. She travels to true crime conventions to speak about what happened, hoping that someone can help her find him. And then she meets a podcaster who wants to cover the case.
But as someone who has a history of sleepwalking, Isabelle Drake is deeply unreliable. Did she accidentally hurt her little boy?
Told in alternating timelines, between Then and Now, All the Dangerous Things is about questioning your own mind and your own past, it’s about the way the past haunts us and who we let into our lives. With a shocker of an ending, this book is an atmospheric and deeply satisfying treat.
