Well Cara Hunter has done it yet again in All the Rage. Gripping from the very start and covering some very dark material. Asante uncovers a disturbing chat room and puts Baxter on the back foot, things technical being his domain. But this isn’t the only blow to Baxter's esteem as Erica’s new boyfriend, Giles Saumerez offers a different technical angle. DI Fawley has to step aside partway through the case to a very competent Ruth Gallagher of the Major Crimes unit (I hope we see more of her). Meanwhile Fawley muses over a former case of his and whether he played strictly by the rules.

I haven’t a clue if chat rooms like those in All the Rage exist or if teenagers are capable of holding out against Oxford’s finest but it did make for an excellent detective thriller.

I so enjoyed Hunter's previous books, both gripping and full of likeable characters. This one lives up to my expectations and more. From the start you are pulled in, there are surprises along the way that I didn't see coming, right to the final reveal, a result both shocking and unexpected. Totally absorbing.

I absolutely love caras books and this one did not disappoint.
Back to the familiar and comfortable team led by Adam fawley.
20 years ago Gavin parry, also known as the roadside rapist, was jailed for some brutal attacks. He has always maintained his innocence and is shortly due for parol.
Now, 2 girls are brutally assaulted, resulting in the death of one of them. The attacks seem to bear resemblance to the attacks 20 years ago.....was the wrong man jailed??
The team investigate, uncovering the vial truth.
A great twist at the end.
Thoroughly recommend this book.

Omg I absolutely loved this book Carla didn’t disappoint I’ve lived all her books......I love the way it was written I love the characters the back ground story the twists and the ending wow wasn’t what I expected can’t wait for the next book with team Fawley I would definitely recommend this book!

Another 5* book to add to the Adam Fawley series! Again kept me guessing right up until the end with it's intricate web of deceipt. I wont reveal anything of the story but it was nice to learn a bit more about Adam and Alex's background, definitely helped me to like the characters further with knowing them a little more. Look forward to the next installment......

Wow!
From plot lines that are current if not even a little ahead of their time, plenty of twist and turns, suspense and the excellent characterization this book has it all..
The book is told from several perspectives and makes clever use of police report transcripts and text messaging to convey some of the facts, many of the feelings and a lot of the abject hatred aimed at people who are redefining gender stereotypes.
Disturbing in places, with the sheer vehemence of the hate crimes leaping off the page this is an uncomfortable and though provoking read.

Thank you to Netgalley and Random House for the advance copy of All the Rage, the fourth book in the DI Adam Fawley series by Cara Hunter.

Detective fiction is my favourite genre so I was keen to read this, and overall it did not disappoint. The premise of the story is a teenage girl snatched from the street and assaulted. She is soon picked up by a taxi driver who reports the incident to the police, but the only problem is, the girl doesn't want to press charges. I immediately wanted to know why. I was hooked.

The book successfully explores the sensitive issue of gender reassignment, which is not something I've come across in a book before and it's great to see authors bringing these new stories to the table. As a member of the LBGTQ community myself, it's refreshing to stumble upon this content when you're not looking for it.

Although I loved that the story was told in easily digestible chunks, in lots of long paragraphs rather than chapters, I struggled to follow the characters. I lost track of the number of perspectives I was reading from, and personally that made the book a little challenging to read, and difficult to get emotionally attached to any of the characters. However this is a very small niggle in what was an excellent book from start to finish.

All in all, this was a great read and I would definitely consider reading more in this series. A massive well done to the author!

I was thrilled to get an ARC of this book as have enjoyed the previous three in the series. I read it in less than a day and am now disappointed it’s over so quickly.

Twists and turns that keep you on your toes whilst still developing the DI Farley and co storyline and characters well. Thoroughly enjoyable although the subject matter is quite disturbing. A true mystery thriller that makes me can’t wait for the next one.

I couldn't stop reading this. It is a cleverly contrived plot with frequent changes of direction to wrong foot any reader who thinks they know the answer. One girl is the subject of what might be a hate crime,another is murdered. There are similarities to a crime many years back which was handled by the detective in charge of these recent events. He has to take a back seat because of this connection. The characters,particularly the teenagers are very well drawn. For once, the detective's seem to have settled home lives which is unusual in detective fiction just now. The whole story is superbly well written.

Thank you so much to netgalley for this advanced copy. I have read all the previous adam fawley series and love them I didn't think they could get any better. But this one starts with a young girl called faith who gets attacked then another young girl called Sasha gets attacked and dies it brings similarities to a case that Adam worked on about 20 years ago and everyone starts yo wander if the person who was blamed and put in prison was really responsible or do they have a copy cat or is it someone else entirely the team fight to get to the bottom of things. You also find out a lot more about fawley and his private life. Can't wait for the next in the series.

A brilliant book. This book has many believeable twists & turns in it & you’re never sure who the perpetrator(s) are. I would highly recommend it.

It was a really good book the plot was amazing couldn’t put it down I loved all the characters especially Adam Fawley there were so many twists and turns it kept you gripped right up to the end and what a shock at the end felt so sorry for the parents of the girls I would definitely recommend it can’t wait for the next one.

Outstanding. Another smash hit from Carla Kovach. Such an amazing writer and incredible story. I really loved. Highly recommended

Another cracker from Cara Hunter in the DI Adam Fawley series. Gripping with a clever plot with believable characters that make you keep turning the pages.

Top notch.

When I was approved to review this book, I was so happy, particularly as I’d just finished No Way Out. I read All The Rage in a day and was so happy to be surrounded by familiar characters. The police procedural focus of these books is one of my favourite things, it’s so well done and makes the story feel even more satisfying.

I was really intrigued about how the story would tie together, as there were a lot of twists and turns, and I didn’t guess the ending. I think my main criticism is that there were maybe too many characters, sometimes I found myself checking back to work out who fitted in where. I really liked Faith, I thought she was a great character, and I loved her attitude.

I enjoyed the fact that there was a stronger focus on the police team as a whole, I loved finding out more about them, as well as learning more of DI Fawley’s backstory. While ultimately I preferred No Way Out (I’ve also just purchased the previous books in the DI Fawley series - yay!) this is still a really well-written crime story.

One thing I really like about the DI Fawley series is that although they do follow on and previous cases are referenced in the books, I think they can be read as standalone novels.

This book is the latest in the series to feature DI Adam Fawley and his team. I was late to the series, only beginning with the last one (No Way Out) but haven't had any problems with catching up.

In this novel, a girl is abducted in Oxford and DI Fawley is called in to investigate. The circumstances take Adam back to a crime he was involved in prosecuting back in 1999, one that has personal significance for him. When a second girl is abducted, the Oxford police are involved in a race against time to save the victim from a vicious and evil criminal.

It's not often that I read a book that I can't put down, but this was one. There was an interesting range of characters, a twisty plot and shifts in perspective that kept me reading. Recommended for those who love tense police procedurals, especially those with a focus on forensic investigations.

When teenager Faith Appleyard is abducted from the street, a plastic bag placed over her head, and cable ties used to tether her hands, she believes she’s going to die, but though she’s very badly beaten, luck is on her side that day, when sirens from a police car in the locality stop the abductor in their tracks. The strange thing is though, she won’t press charges. Now why is that? The next victim won’t be so lucky though, and so begins another complex but riveting case for DI Adam Fawley and his team.

This case is particularly difficult for Adam because the crimes appear to have the same M.O. as Gavin Parry, The Roadside Rapist, who has served 20 years for his offences, and Adam was the one who helped to convict him. Parry is now due for parole, but these new cases are so similar that it begs the question, was the right man convicted, because Parry has always maintained his innocence!

Dealing as it does with issues that are currently receiving media attention such as gender reassignment, the novel develops through changing scenes, told mainly from the points of view of DI Fawley and his team, each with their own loads to bear, problems in their home lives, weaknesses they wish they could redeem - imperfect.

Incredibly complex yet completely gripping, All The Rage keeps you reading because these are characters that you know, characters that you’ve met in real life. You don’t necessarily have to like them, indeed some of them are everything you hope you aren’t at times, but they come from normal everyday families that have similar aspirations to life and family that the average reader will have. That’s what makes this a winner - Cara Hunter is adept at getting into the minds of those intent on committing evil, and also of creating a claustrophobic atmosphere of family life - the stifling conformity and the worry of being a good parent, as well as being seen to be a good parent - protecting your kids from the bad things in life - sometimes though it’s just not enough! Cara Hunter has done it again - Unmissable!

Excellent story, keeping you on your toes as you the truth unfolds in a series of clever twists and turns. Will keep you guessing - often wrongly - right through to the very end.

So we are already into the fourth book in the DI Fawley series. Can’t even begin to tell you how desperate I’ve been to read this. I have to admit I’m not sure if this can be read as a standalone and would probably recommend that you have at least read the first couple of books in this series before reading this one.

All I can say about this story is that it is one twisted read. I kept thinking we were being taken down one road when it comes to the case that Fawley and his team are working on, only for it to go off down a totally different route. Not just the once either! I was kept on my toes with each shocking revelation. Even the ending has left me anxious to get my hands on the fifth in the series.

All The Rage is an edge of your seat read with twists and turns you won’t see coming. It had me going through an array of emotions but mainly, shock and horror with each revelation. It will certainly get the adrenaline coursing through your body, especially by the end. Am praying we don’t have long to wait for the next book.

My thanks to NetGalley and publisher Penquin Books (UK) for the ARC.
This is #4 in the DI Adam Fowley series, and what a cracking read it is! I find it quite frankly mind-boggling how Cara Hunter manages to weave this complex plot, constantly leading the reader down blind alleys with red-herrings before dropping-in the twist to go off in another direction.
Faith Appleford, a beautiful and talented student, is encountered by a taxi driver one day mid-morning in Oxford; she is in a terrible state having suffered some kind of attack. However, she insists on being taken home. The driver informs the police, who begin investigating against Faith's and her mother's wishes.
A couple of days later Sasha Blackford, another beautiful and talented student, is reported missing. When her body is found the particular MO of her death matches the mode of Faith's abduction - which she finally revealed - only the attacker was disturbed and Faith came back. Why has Faith no social media presence since she moved to Oxford a year ago?
The problem for Adam Fowley and his DCI is that this particular MO matches-up with that of a convicted serial killer who has been locked up for 18 years and due to be considered for parole. A case review is initiated - a case to which Adam and his wife Sandy are inextricably linked. Could they really have locked up the wrong man, or are these copy-cat crimes?
This story has great characters and dialogue, is fast-paced, with an ingenious plot involving social media communications as well as dark-web message-boards.
DI Fowley shares his feelings and thoughts with us in the first person and, intermittently, we read the message-board strings as well as the trial transcripts being reviewed. Really interesting writing.
This is a tense, gritty crime thriller. Loved it!
