A parents' worst nightmare...your child is kidnapped.

The guilt, the horror, the longing never stops.

And to top it off people think Isabelle staged the kidnapping and killed her son.

Isabelle hasn't slept more than a few hours since her son was taken from his room in the middle of the night while she slept through it all.

She feels she can't sleep in case he comes back...she can't believe she didn't hear anything that night.

Isabelle has been on a speaking tour about her nightmare in hopes that the kidnapper will show up in the audience.

On the anniversary of the kidnapping, her husband who left six months after their son was gone showed up.

She thought it hadn’t affected him, but it did.

He also had something else to tell her, though. He has moved on and was seeing someone.

As Isabelle continues her sleepless nights and traveling for her speaking engagements, she meets a pod caster on the plane who poses a question in hopes that Isabelle will agree to doing a podcast about the crime.

This podcast brings up Isabelle's childhood and her life now. As she invites him into her home she thinks…just who is this pod caster who came out of nowhere to hunt her down and badger her until she said yes?

Something happened in her childhood that was traumatic.

Could the kidnapping be as traumatic as the childhood incident?

Could she really be responsible for her child's disappearance as everyone thinks?

Even though there were surprises, secrets, revelations, and ending pages definitely worth the wait, ALL THE DANGEROUS THINGS dragged.

BUT…if you are willing to wait for the fabulous ending and wrap up, this book will be a VERY satisfying read

I had it slated as a 3/5, but the ending was so brilliant and different, I brought it up to a 4/5.

Don't Miss It!!
 
This book was given to me by the publisher via NetGalley for an honest review.

Although ALL THE DANGEROUS THINGS has the makings of a great mystery, I struggled to finish reading it after page 50, then again after page 100. It wasn't until somewhere around page 260 that I became anxious to finish it and not just out of obligation to my book club.

The best mysteries have more than one mystery going on. ALL THE DANGEROUS THINGS has that going for it.

The main mystery: who abducted Isabelle's and Ben's baby boy, Mason? And is he dead or alive?

Could Isabelle, herself, have done it? That's another mystery as evidence of Isabelle's guilt piles up. Is it possible that she drowned her little sister when they were children?

Is Isabelle's sleep deprivation since Mason was taken making her see things that aren't really there? (And about that: I wonder how that's possible for someone to get no sleep for a year. I don't function well if I go without a single night of sleep.)

Or what about Ben? What is he guilty of besides cheating on two wives?

I read that this book has a surprise ending, and I guess you could say that. After all, I didn't predict it. But it seemed to me that the end was too good, with every little mystery tied up too neatly and no mention of any difficulty, which I'm sure there would have to be.

I will not be surprised to see this story in a movie on the Lifetime channel.
