About this listen

"Reader Vacker does a remarkable job voicing the main characters and keeping the tension high....Mystery and true crime fans will be drawn in and ultimately satisfied by this complex, tense tale read expertly by a talented narrator."—Booklist

"[Karissa] Vacker switches easily between the higher female voices and the lower male voices, creating recognizable and believable characters.... Listeners will enjoy a gripping and twisty story." (AudioFile on Earphones Award winner A Flicker in the Dark)

Following up her instant New York Times bestseller, A Flicker in the Dark, Stacy Willingham delivers a totally gripping thriller about a desperate mother with a troubled past in All the Dangerous Things.

One year ago, Isabelle Drake's life changed forever: her toddler son, Mason, was taken out of his crib in the middle of the night while she and her husband were asleep in the next room. With little evidence and few leads for the police to chase, the case quickly went cold. However, Isabelle cannot rest until Mason is returned to her—literally.

Except for the occasional catnap or small blackout where she loses track of time, she hasn’t slept in a year.

Isabelle's entire existence now revolves around finding him, but she knows she can’t go on this way forever. In hopes of jarring loose a new witness or buried clue, she agrees to be interviewed by a true-crime podcaster—but his interest in Isabelle's past makes her nervous. His incessant questioning paired with her severe insomnia has brought up uncomfortable memories from her own childhood, making Isabelle start to doubt her recollection of the night of Mason’s disappearance, as well as second-guess who she can trust... including herself. But she is determined to figure out the truth no matter where it leads.

Critic reviews

"True crime's trending appeal and Willingham's mastery of the domestic mystery promise popularity for this one... those who crave resolution will appreciate that Willingham tucks the story's ends in tight."–Booklist (starred review)

"[A] lyrical thriller... this involving, thought-provoking page-turner raises disturbing questions about the nature of the stories people tell themselves to make sense of the world. Willingham remains an author to watch."—Publishers Weekly

"Pacey and sinister, All the Dangerous Things has a palpable tension that keeps the pages turning."—Karin Slaughter

What listeners say about All the Dangerous Things

Highly rated for:

The Audiobook's Story Revolves Around A Gripping Mystery And Suspenseful Plot Filled With Unexpected Twists And Turns That Keep Listeners Guessing Until The End. While Praised For Its Intriguing Premise And Compelling Storyline, Some Found The Beginning Slow And Certain Sections Dragging Due To Excessive Descriptions. The Book Delves Into Themes Of Motherhood, Mental Health, Societal Pressures On Women, And Family Secrets, Often Incorporating Psychological Thriller Elements. Despite Some Predictable Moments And Unsatisfying Endings For Some, The Overall Unpredictable Nature Of The Plot And Suspenseful Atmosphere Kept Many Listeners Engaged.

Wow

I have read hundreds of crime thrillers and this, without QUESTION is the BEST I’ve ever read. The attention to detail and twists are incredible, unexpected and so good. My jaw dropped and I gasped on multiple occasions. Put it at the top of your list!

OMG moments until the end (highly recommend)

I couldn’t stop listening to this. Not only was the story full of plot twists that had me guessing until the very end, but it offers a very important discussion about mental health & motherhood. The authors note at the end is a must listen/read.

Thrilling, Suspenseful, Devastatingly Real

With common threads of mental health in a stream of consciousness tale about women and their children. Women and their identities in the world and stigmas associated with a woman’s success at home and outside the home.

Absolutely loved it!

I loved A flicker in the dark so I was so excited when I found out that she was making another stand alone. I didn't see any of the book coming and I was so shocked I actually gasped out loud a couple of times but it was so so good.

Loved it!

I read a lot of these books and I normally have the whodunit figured out before I get to the end which can kind of make the book disappointing but not with this one. I also truly appreciated the twist at the end making sure everyone got what they deserved. Additionally the subject matter for which the book is written falls close to home having suffered from postpartum depression myself. This is a really good read on many levels and I highly recommend it.
