The detectives have no leads so Isabelle spends her time doing research and conducting her own interviews even though the detective has warned her not too. Her obsession with finding Mason is also the reason her marriage to Ben deteriorated. And, now Isabelle Drake is the keynote speaker at TrueCrimeCon-the largest true crime conference in the world-drawing a global attendance of over 10,000-trying to keep her son’s case alive, as it grows COLD-still with no leads. She hates that the people who attend sit behind their computers and tablets like this is a just a puzzle to be solved-when it’s the reality of her life-but she does this because they offer her the only HOPE she has left.

Stories that become so vivid, so real, that eventually we start to believe them, too? —Stacy Willingham, All the Dangerous Things Frequently Asked Questions What is All the Dangerous Things by Stacy Willingham about?

Customer reviews

In the present day – the police and the family are no further forward, and Isabelle begins to tell her story of the sleepless nights and anguish she feels because there are still no suspects, no answers and no one is any nearer to finding Mason. I loved loved loved this book. It was so good. I guessed every character and I was wrong every time. All the characters seem to be untrustable.

As she shares her story with Waylon and her severe insomnia persists, she’s met with the uncomfortable truth that Mason’s disappearance isn’t the only mystery to unravel. This was a solid thriller with quite a few twists I wasn’t expecting. I loved the last 20 percent of the book, even though the pacing was a little slow in the beginning.Her husband Ben left her six months ago and has already found a “girlfriend”. He tells Isabella that she needs to put this behind her and get on with her life. WHAT MOTHER COULD EVER DO THAT?? I wouldn't describe this as being fast-paced, it was more of a steady pace with great tension throughout. Each chapter fills in more and more of the puzzle and it was really hard to put it down. I thought I had the plot figured out several times but I was wrong. You will need to be an amazing detective to figure this one out!!
