It's been a little while since I've read a thriller I like this much. From the charismatic MC, to the twists, to the ending of the story, I was enthralled.

I am a thriller lover, through and through, and though I am not very particular about which thrillers I will pick up, I am very particular about which ones I rate five stars. From the very first page, Willingham had my attention and never lost it. She represented physical and mental issues in a respectful and meaningful way. This book is more than just a mystery and a sequence of crazy twists, though it included all of that and more. It is also a think piece on motherhood, the good and the bad.

As I mentioned in (I believe) my Circe review, there are very few characters that I enjoy more than well-written, compelling mothers. They are not always included in fiction, especially in thrillers, unless they are only there to serve as a one-dimensional villain. Without spoiling anything, I can say that I loved the way the mothers were portrayed in All the Dangerous Things. I think it brings a new light to women who have never had children of their own, and overall, I just think it's a brilliantly executed story.
