I love the Di Fawley books so much. After the 4gh one in the series, you would think Cara would show signs of slowing down but no, her novels are still amazing. The only other books which I love half as much are MJ Arlidges books. Amazing, can't wait for the 5th in the series

I did struggle a bit with this book. I have read the previous books and found this a bit repetitive. I like how the characters are progressing and will look forward to reading about them#NetGalley #AllTheRage

This is a series which gets better and better. All The Rage is well-written with very strong characters, and Oxford is beautifully depicted. Assault and murder proliferate, and there are similarities to a past case of Adam's, in which his wife Alex was involved. Alongside the main case, the domestic situation makes fascinating reading. An excellent novel!

Thank you for the opportunity to read this book and I really enjoyed it. It holds up. Its usual standards and I was not disappointed in the latest episode of Adam Fawley. I can't wait for the next one after the massive cliff hanger...

Wow, it's hard to believe that Cara Hunter can improve on her Fawley books, but this is a cracker. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Cannot recommend it highly enough, just keep them coming.

Thank you Netgalley and Penguin books for this ARC. Having just finished No Way Out it was such a treat to be able to jump right into this. A big fan of this series from the first book Close To Home I am loving the characters and the subplot development. The main plot sizzles with intrigue. Young girls are being abducted and the evidence has worryingly accurate similarities to an old settled case very close to home for Fawley. You’re taken down a path with unthinkable consequences only to be totally sideswiped and then, just when you think it’s all going to be ok, you’re left knowing the future will be far from that

Thoroughly enjoyed Cara’s previous books & this latest book did not disappoint.
The fast paced storyline had me hooked from the outset.
Really like the ongoing storyline with the main characters & I look forward to seeing how this develops.

I love Cara Hunter’s DI Fawley books and this one is no exception!!! Everything about it was just wow - from beginning (which I was desperately trying to work out where it fitted in) right through to the end. The writing - the suspense - the red herrings and the guessing right up to the end as to who the culprit was. I changed my mind a few times through the book but never came close to guessing the ending!!

A young girl turns up on a road, severely dishevelled and distressed. She doesn’t want the police involved and claims it’s an April Fool prank gone wrong.

A few days later, another young girl goes missing and there are similarities between this and the one preceding it. There are also alarmingly elements of these attacks which mirror a case almost twenty years ago. Understandably DI Fawley’s team find themselves under pressure.

In case you are in any doubt, I loved this book. Gutted that I have ages to wait until the next one in the series is released. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advanced read copy of this book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

This is a corker of a book. I raced through it. I found the narrative a bit disconcerting when it flipped to first person, but just ran with it in the end. I was a big frustrated at the beginning because I was convinced the police were heading off on the wrong path, and then the plot took hold and kept me captivated right until the end.

There’s a few underlying storylines to be explored in future books, and I’m really looking forward to the next one. Thanks for letting me read and review.

I really enjoyed this. So full of twists and turns I didn’t have a clue who was responsible for what? Really well written in fact parts got me quite emotional. A brilliant twist at the end leaves me waiting for more! Highly recommend

Enjoyed the story line but absolutely hate the tweets other extra inserts. Some may enjoy them but for me it makes for disjointed reading and I don't feel they add value.

DI Fawley is investigating a case that bears a remarkable resemblance to one he investigated over 20 years ago. The culprit has been in prison ever since, although he has always pleaded his innocence. Did Fawley send the wrong man to prison or is it a copycat killing?

Personally, I think this is Cara Hunter’s finest book yet, mainly because the plot focusses more on D I Fawley and his home life. Also, Fawley’s team as a whole were given more prominence rather than the emphasis being on the alleged murderer / victim.

As usual, we have the Tweets and Facebook mentions to add authenticity to the story.

Cara Hunter is meticulous in portraying the day to day grueling detective work. I, for one, never try and second-guess her, but rather follow the murder inquiry as a bystander, this way I get the true feeling of the investigation as it is played out.

When a teenage girl is attacked but doesn’t report it to the police, Fawley and his team investigate the reasons why. Adam is already quite highly strung with his wife being pregnant and he wants to protect her and then an old case comes back that could jeopardise everything.

Cara has done it yet again! When you wonder can this series continue to excel the answer is YES! Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

From the very first page I was drawn into the investigation alongside DI Adam Fawley and his team.
I got totally immersed in the enquiry into the assault of a young woman, Faith, spotted in severe distress by a passing taxi.
For some reason Faith will only admit to being attacked and refuses to cooperate any further with the Police.
Why is the question?
Fawley knows there is a lot more she isnt telling them, though it isnt until another girl goes missing and similarities are discovered between them that everything escalates.
A potential link to one of Fawleys old cases, the possibility of a miscarriage of justice, the likeliness of a hate crime and when the second girls body is found murder!.
All these threads are drawn together, through many twists and turns and had me gripped.
What was finally revealed as the reason behind the crimes was shocking, the brutality chilling and totally believable.
Another amazing book, I cant wait for the next episode in the DI Fawley series.
Thanks to Netgalley and Penguin Books (UK) for the opportunity to read this as an ARC.

I have absolutely loved all of the Adam Fawley books, set in the beautiful Oxford and this title really did live up to the high expectations I had of it.
Cara Hunter really does have a fantastic style of writing that keeps you hooked, with every chapter making you want to read more and more, and I did. I really found this book hard to put down!

The story is set in Oxford when a young girl is found dazed and confused after a horrific attack, she survives but unfortunately the outcome isn't the same for the second girl that is abducted. Without giving too much away, the story really is full of twists that keep you guessing where the book is going and who is guilty and who is innocent. I also liked how it touched on lots of current issues, such as the impact of technology and social media on teenagers and also the topic of transgender.

It was also a bonus for me to carry on finding out more about Adam Fawley and his team, as the main characters have been a focus in the previous books.

I absolutely love the Adam Fawley series, which is strange for me as I usually hate detective fiction. I much prefer domestic or psychological thrillers. But these detective stories are awesome, mainly because I really care about the characters. Adam Fawley is a deeply troubled and incredibly sad character who has had to face some terrible hardships in his life. His tragic wife has also had terrible things happen to her. And so you feel incredibly attached to these characters from the start. not only that, the rest of the Thames Valley police team are used in a great way - they are not just bland cardboard cut outs of characters there to move the plot along; instead they are deep and well fleshed out characters which add to the plot and allow you as a reader to follow their story and their journey in Cara Hunter's fictional world.

This book is the 4th in a series and I am caught up with them all. I loved this book - I wasn't as keen on the 3rd one and was really worried this might be a little bit of a let down. But I found it horrifying, moving and incredibly interesting. I couldn't put it down. I don't want to spoil anything so all I'll say is you need to pick it up and give it a read!

I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Absolutely fantastic! The way Cara writes, she makes you want to rush on and read the next paragraph or chapter. She always leaves each part on a small cliff hanger- this made the storyline more addictive to read. I also enjoyed how she included snippets of text messages, Instagram and email style images- I think she is the first crime author I’ve read to do this, and I found it made the book more enjoyable.
Most authors have the story tied up at the 90% mark (on kindle) but this story just kept on giving until the very last sentence. The storyline was very clever, had a lot of twists and turns and I didn’t for a second guess who the killer was. The very last part of the book makes me want to check out Cara Hunter’s next book to see if there’ll be more on this!

I haven’t read the previous books by Cara, but I will definitely be downloading them. Whilst this is an easy read, I did find myself getting confused about the names of the different police officers (this is probably just me though!) Also, whenever reading, I notice spelling and grammar mistakes, I think there was only two in the entire book- which is really good!

Will definitely be adding Cara to my favourite authors list, and will be reading more by her.

Another amazing read from Cara Hunter. I couldn’t wait to start reading this as I love her previous books.
I throughly enjoyed the pace of this book, starting slowly but with so much information and finishing with that ending. Which i did not expect at all.
Cara keeps bringing us more and more such as the background of Fawley and his wife, and new relationships. I cannot wait for the next instalment.
Well done Cara, absolutely brilliant once again. Thank you for the advanced copy
