A missing child, a fractured memory

A year after toddler Mason disappears from his crib, Isabelle Drake remains consumed by the search. With the case stalled, she agrees to speak with a true-crime podcaster, whose questions turn toward her childhood as well as the night Mason vanished. Severe insomnia and gaps in Isabelle’s memory complicate her effort to piece together what happened, while the investigation unsettles her confidence in those around her—and in her own recollections. The novel brings together a missing-child investigation, buried memories, and the uncertainty of a narrator struggling to trust her account of events.

Book overview

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.
