This is a Dr Adam Fawley novel based in Oxford. The steady introduction of the characters in the first part of the book was a stroke of absolute genius; effortlessly written and it grasped your attention instantly. It’s a topical, controversial plot which vividly exposes the ignorance and intolerance of society towards differences in others. I’m at a complete loss after reading the novel how discriminating and evil people can be towards vulnerable people in our diverse society. It made my blood boil. What is the matter with people? A small point is that the maps and insertions could not be discerned on a Kindle. Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Books UK.

All the Rage is Book 4 in the DI Adam Fawley Series. Whilst I came into the series without previously reading the other three books, I was able to catch on easily and I am very much looking forward to reading the others in this series.

One night Faith Appleford is found on the outskirts of Oxford after she has been attacked by someone and a plastic bag put over her head. Miraculously she escapes, but doesn't want to press charges. DI Fawley investigates but Faith doesn't want to report it to the police and they are forced to drop it. Then another girl disappears and Adam is left with no choice but to face up to his past.

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the author kept me guessing right up until the end with this one and I highly recommend it. It had all the aspects I have come to appreciate with a good thriller/mystery/crime novel and I very much appreciated the author's ability to give clues in order for me to try and piece the story together.

I want to thank Netgalley and Penguin Books UK for providing me with this book in exchange for an honest review.

Smashing crime/police drama set in Oxford. A really interesting & twisting plot with some great characters. Well written- I enjoyed it & would read more by this author.

All the Rage by Cara Hunter
I give this book 4 stars.
The first girl came back.
The next might not be so lucky
A teenage girl is found dazed and distressed. The story she tells is terrifying.
DI Fawley investigates, but there's little he can do without the girl's co-operation. Is she hiding something, and if so, what? And why does Fawley keep getting the feeling he's seen a case like this before?
And then another girl disappears,
A great read with good characters,I couldn't and didnt want to put it down!
Lots of twists and turns which I love in a book,and it kept me guessing until the end.
A brilliant series of books,cleverly written and highly recommended
Thank you Netgalley

Brilliant couldn’t put it down. There was a thread running through from previous books in the series but it was still enjoyable. Lots of twists and turns with a great plot. Will try to find previous books in the series.

Crime isn't always the first genre that I turn to, however this book is absolutely fantastic. Captivating and absorbing, I found myself unable to put it down.

All The Rage by Cara Hunter

Synopsis
A distressed teenage girl is found on the outskirts of Oxford. The story she tells is terrifying: grabbed off the street, a plastic bag forced over her head, then driven somewhere remote and subjected to an assault.

DI Adam Fawley is doing the best he can to investigate, but the teenager refuses to press charges. All he can do is try to ignore the sickening feeling he's seen something like this before...

Review
This is the 4th book in the Adam Fawley series, the 3rd book being rather poor I nearly didn’t bother reading the next one.
However I was pleasantly surprised, the book started strong and I liked the first little twist. The layout of the book was great with tweets, articles etc (although some were quite shocking) and I enjoyed the story line.
I guessed part of the ending and I was happy with it. It was a good steady read.

Rated 4/5

All The Rage is the fourth DI Fawley book by Cara Hunter. I haven’t read the previous three books and it didn’t affect my enjoyment of this fantastic novel at all. Set in Oxford, DI Fawley and his team investigate what appears to be a hate crime against a young person. When another teenager goes missing, questions are asked about a previous case DI Fawley worked on due to unexplainable similarities. If the perpetrator of the previous attacks is now in prison, did they actually convict the right man or is a copycat responsible?
This story is told at relentless speed and engages you throughout. It kept me guessing with many twists that were not far fetched or unbelievable. I will certainly be reading the previous novels and any future DI Fawley books.

I'm a huge fan of Cara Hunter and I have read all of the books to date so I was really excited to get and ARC of her latest book All The Rage.

DI Adam Frawley is called the investigate after a teenage girl, Faith Appleyard is found wandering the streets in Oxford in a very distressed state after having been abducted and having a plastic bag put over her had and assaulted at an isolated location. The attacker pulled hair from her head and Adam Frawley realises the attacker has the same MO as Gavin Parry, a sexual predator that DI Frawley put away and who is still in jail but has always protested that DI Frawley framed him. After another girl Sasha, who hangs around in the same group as Faith, goes missing DI Frawley needs to find out if it is the work of a copy cat killer or is the real killer still at large.

All The Rage is everything I've come to expect from Cara Hunter and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way through and I think it is her best book yet!!!!

This is book 4 of a series but can be read as a stand-alone; which is what I did. This is a complex and twisted tale with multiple threads. Based around a group of teenagers, violent assault, a detective and his team and the trappings of phones, internet and social media.
The book set the pace from the very beginning with an event so shocking it had me invested. The storyline tackled many serious issues such as violent crime, sexual assault, emotional and physical abuse, transgender issues, peer pressure and manipulation, friendships, envy and accountability.
I recommend this book for fans of psychological dramas and crime fiction. Many thanks to Cara Hunter, Penguin and Netgalley Uk for this ARC in return for an honest and fair review.

This started off a bit slow for me, but once I got into it, I really enjoyed the storyline. There are lots of twists and turns keeping you guessing, and wanting to keep reading on. Modern thriller/horror story, definitely worth a read.

I loved this book and it wasnt at all what I expected. Obviously you start something with an idea of what will happen especially in these sorts of books but every chapter I was changing my mind. It completely kept me on my toes and i loved it. The format with different inserts was a great addition and added a lovely break between large bit of information or chapters. I will be reading more cara hunter for sure

I would like to thank Cara Hunter and Penguin Publishing for allowing me to read an ARC copy of In an Instant.

After reading the other 3 books in this series, i was looking forward to reading No4, but i found myself disappointed with this one.

Unusually for me, i took ages to read it and then found myself binge reading the end, just to get to the end. If i hadn't have been doing a review for All The Rage i think i would have put it to one side.

The story starts when a teenage girl is seen by a taxi driver looking disheveled, dazed and distressed. He picks her up and takes her home to her mum, where you find that she doesn't want to talk to the police.

When she eventually agrees to talk to the police she tells a terrifying tale of being grabbed off the street, a plastic bag being pulled over her head and then driven to an isolated location where she was subjected to an assault. She then tells the police that the person had run off when they heard a police siren in the distance and she is then left to untie herself and remove the plastic bag to find that she is in a shed on an allotment.

DI Fawley investigates and wants her to press charges, but there's little he can do without the girl's co-operation. He know that she is hiding something and isn't giving the whole truth, but what is she hiding and why?

The case sounds very similar to another case 20 years ago, but is it a copy cat or does Parry have someone on the outside doing his work, or was the wrong man convicted all those years ago?

Another girl then goes missing, are the cases related? There are slight differences when she is found - dead!

You then learn that Di Fawleys wife was an original survival victim of Parry, and whilst pregnant is having anxiety attacks which lead to her being hospitalised, but why is she worried? Is there something not quite right with her version of events that happened on that fateful night?

As the story unfolded i found myself getting confused with all the different characters that were being brought in to solve the case and the possible killer.

It is a very complex read with plenty of twists and turns and you will need to remember who is who and the connections that the characters have,

Absoluter cracking story by Cara Hunter, Easily the best thriller I've read in the last twelve months. Cleverly written with a terrific sense of pace and a storyline that is astutely plotted, as well as believable characters and crackling dialogue. No negatives at all, so do yourself a favour and read this book.

This was a fantastic book, which I read through within a few days. Even though I hadn't read the previous book in the series, it was easy to follow the plot, warm to the characters and become engrossed in the story. Will be buying the first book as well now.

Cara Hunter's books were my find of 2018, i picked up the 1st of the Fawley series "Close To Home" in a random Sainsburys while getting snacks for the long journey home from Southend to West Yorkshire.


I devoured the whole book on that journey and was googling for more before we pulled up to our home, surprised that what i had read was a debut I was happy to see the second was due for release and from here my love for this series, these characters and this authors style of writing snowballed.


So I was very much looking forward to getting stuck in to the 4th in the series and "All The Rage" did not disappoint.


It is absolutely possible to read any of the series as a stand-alone, but personally if you have not read any before I suggest you grab them all and settle in as your in far a treat.


In "All The Rage" 15 year old, Faith Appleford, is the victim of an abduction, grabbed from the street, a bag placed over her head, hands cabled ties thrown in a vehicle, later she is found distressed walking on the side of the road, she does not want the police involved refuses help, but why?


When another young girl goes missing the spotlight is turned not only to Faiths case but the that of an earlier cases from 1999 of the so called Roadside Rapist a case which Fawley was involved in. With the convicted man claiming his innocence from behind bars and the similarities almost to clear between the old and the new cases the team and Fawley himself are in for some tough questions.


Its is difficult to go through much more of the story as a spoiler free blog but I have to say how well certain aspects in this book were written and handled with sensitivity particularity those around gender reassignment.


Of course I love Adam Fawley as a character and I really enjoyed seeing a little bit more of his life and the love for his wife, the twists surrounding there relationship left me reeling they have been through so much too much yet remain strong.


Of course, Gislingham who is fitting his new role well, Somer, Everett both sharp and yet sensitive and initiative and Quinn still having his moments but even with him you see the growth in how this team has developed they all make the story too.


I love the authors writing style, we are pulled along with the team as the investigate and uncover information but the added details are so unique and add a real visual it like your doing this with them, written interviews, maps, police reports, emails, news reports, snippets of social media and even phone calls are added to blend with the way this case hurtles to its conclusion


There are some real shocks and twists as the case comes to an end and It twist that I did not see coming which left me thinking both What the hell! and questioning my own computer and Netflix history (ha!) and the final pages I was not ready for that oh my god!, what a set up for the book 5.


"All The Rage" just cements Cara Hunter as a master in this genre, with the thrilling and shocking twists to the modern and engrossing Investigative style pulling you in. You can not fail to read and finish a Cara Hunter Book without thinking wow!


I as always cannot wait for the next from this author, and with the ending of this book tantalising us with the horrors in-store for book 5 "The Whole Truth" the publication date cannot come soon enough!

This is book four featuring DI Adam Fawley and set in a somewhat different aspect of Oxford than that other famous detective Morse gave us. But don't mistake different with inferior in any way.

The plot in this book is about a stalker and his victim and as with all the author's previous books it has a feel of being bang up to date in both terms of subject matter as well as the finer details which lends the book a fresh feel.

Multiple viewpoints and the gentle weaving of the investigator's back stories means that the plotting needs to be spot on to work, and it is!

If you haven't read any of the series I would urge you to read Close to Home followed swiftly by the next three; you are in for a treat!

On choosing this book to read, I didn’t realise it was a part of a series and thought perhaps it would be hard to get into. I was wrong and this book is most definitely a must read.

The whole book was gripping and quite simply edge of your seat material. I think it is great movie material.

I will now make it my business to read every book in this series.

Great story with lots of twists and turns, I love the Fawley series as it's set on my home turf. I do however struggle to keep up with who all the police characters are.

Another excellent crime thriller from Cara Hunter! Edge of the seat storyline which kept me awake well into the night to find out what happened next.
