All the Dangerous Things: The gripping new psychological thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of A Flicker in the Dark

Product Information

The way that fit together in the end did elevate my rating for this one, despite Willingham's tendency towards overly flowery descriptions and my overall dislike for Isabelle through most of the book.

Slow-burning yet simmering with tension and suspense, ALL THE DANGEROUS THINGS is hypnotic, immersive, and emotionally-impactful—the kind of mystery you’ll sink into, not coming up for air until you’ve turned the final page. True crime's trending appeal and Willingham's mastery of the domestic mystery promise popularity for this one.Waylon asks about a spare key and Isabella said theirs had been stolen a year before Mason disappeared. Like “A Flicker in the Dark” this story is a slow burn 🔥, immediately captivating, plausible story of SUSPENSE-filled with beautiful vivid descriptions, contemplative prose and intricate plotting. She currently lives in Charleston, South Carolina, with her husband, Britt, and Labradoodle, Mako, where she is always working on her next book. BLOOD SISTERS will be published in September, but thanks to Vanessa and her publisher, we’re able to get an exclusive early glimpse into the book right here in today’s blog post! But when his questions become a bit TOO intrusive and hard-hitting, Isabelle realizes he may know something big about her past.

The resilience of the human spirit: Despite the seemingly insurmountable obstacles and emotional turmoil, Isabelle’s unwavering commitment to finding her son showcases the incredible resilience of the human spirit. The mystery/suspense feels very guessable but has enough surprises and twists to keep you on your toes. I'm glad I gave Willingham another chance and will be interested to see what she comes up with next. Agents, especially, have to be extremely choosy when taking on a new client, so try to look at every rejection as you just slowly checking them off a giant master list, which means that with every rejection, you're getting closer and closer to the one that will eventually say yes. Could a terrible secret from Isabelle’s past—something she has repressed for years—have manifested itself in her adult life, and caused her to harm her son?

I do think this was intentional from the author if you read the authors notes, but it was very good.
