More than "how you got him is how you lose him," this book is about mental health. And you spend the entire book in Isabelle's manic, obsessive thoughts. At times, that was a lot, as she tended to ramble on about the same things. But, it was a compelling read. Highly recommend.

I'm not ashamed to admit I didn't guess many of the twists in All the Dangerous Things, but the clues really were there for those more astute than me. The fast-paced, short chapters are dangerous, like a package of small sweets you suddenly realize you've devoured all of. I'm also a huge sucker for an unreliable narrator, and Isabelle's insomnia is well utilized in that way. 

This reminded me of The Girl on the Train in construction and some themes, so if you enjoyed that I think you will enjoy this.

Overall, fairly mild violence for a mystery novel involving or referring to a few deaths. There is some discussion of a mother attempting murder-suicide with her child during a case of postpartum mental illness, and (late book spoilers, but should read if that theme would bother you)

the mother does kill a child

. There is also at least one instance of intentional tampering with birth control to cause a pregnancy without one partner's consent.
