Gripping and tense, All the Dangerous Things was hard to put down. Once I started listening to the audiobook, I did not want to put it down, as this one seeped in and piqued my interest. Motherhood, a missing child, insomnia, and an unreliable narrator pulled me in.
Isabelle Drake’s son, Mason, was taken from his crib while Isabelle and her husband Ben slept in the next room. Now Ben has moved on and Isabelle has not slept since she read her son a bedtime story and tucked him in for the night. She questions how she didn’t know someone was there? How did she not know he was taken? She wants answers and searches for clues. She gives speeches about her missing child, knowing that people are interested, hoping to find answers.
Isabelle has not slept, thus making her an unreliable narrator. She is tired and it affects her memory and recollections. Will talking to a true crime podcaster help her? What does he know about her past? The book looks at both Isabelle in the past and present.
After feeling so-so about A Flicker in the Dark, I was wowed by this book. It took me by surprise and shocked me. I love when I can’t figure things out and I did not see that coming! Well played! Plus, the twists! It’s whiplash time!
Gripping, riveting, hard to put down and shocking! What a great book, plus the narrator did a fantastic job. What a great read/listen.
