The Plot Unfolds
At the beginning of the story, Marissa sets out on what seems like a routine trip to pick up her son Milo from a playdate arranged by another school mom, Jenny. But when she arrives at the address Jenny texted her, she’s met by a stranger named Esther, who has no idea who Jenny or Milo are.
“Her name is Esther, and she knows nothing about a playdate, or about Marissa’s son, Milo.”
From that moment, the situation spirals into chaos. Milo’s backpack tracker has been disabled, heightening the sense of dread. When Esther contacts the real Jenny, portrayed by Dakota Fanning, the discovery turns even more terrifying. Within minutes, Marissa’s calm demeanor dissolves into sheer panic.

Snook carries the emotional weight of the story with skill, transforming a simple parental worry into a deeply psychological unraveling. All Her Fault stands out not just as a suspenseful thriller but as an intimate portrayal of parental fear and guilt.
