All the Dangerous Things by Stacy Willingham

5.0

All the Dangerous Things is psychological/domestic thriller by author, Stacey Willingham. I read her debut, A Flicker in the Dark and absolutely loved it, so was excited to read this next book by the same author.

While I preferred A Flicker in the Dark, this one was a solid exciting and thrilling second book which featured one of my all time favorite mystery tropes – unreliable narrator! We have our main character, Isabelle who had struggled with severe insomnia since her son was kidnapped from his bedroom in the night 12 months prior to the start of the novel. This clever plot element means that we never really know if we can trust her account, was she involved, did she take her own son, its so much fun reading along as we learn about the truth of that night alongside the main character.
The ending comes as a shock and wraps everything up nicely with no cliffhanger. The story was well-paced and kept my interest the whole time. I read it over one sitting. It was easy to read and become immersed in.

I am already a huge fan of this author, and will continue to read anything she puts out. I hope we don’t have to wait too long for the next book.

Thank you to the author, publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.
