I read this not long after finishing the previous book in the series, and this did not disappoint. I liked the continuity from where the last book finished and again the way this book is written in the narrative of the different characters. It was nice to catch up with DI Adam Fawley and his colleagues. Another great book by Cara Hunter. Thanks to NetGalley for my ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Another great book from cara Hunter, I have read her three previous books and was so pleased to get this fourth one to review!
D I Adam Fawley yet again leads an investigation that takes you on a most unexpected journey the twists and turns just keep coming to keep you guessing right until the end! Nice to have the continuity of oxford and several other characters who have been in previous books.
A great read that tackles some very distressing and disturbing topics particularly as it is all planned, schemed and orchestrated but mere school children which is so very sobering and quite enlightening at the same time! Overall a great read that will keep you guessing! Thank you net galley for this early read

The foiled abduction of a student followed the apparent rape and gruesome murder and of a teenage girl looks very similar to the crimes of a man in jail for the last 18 years. DI Fawley is sure the right man is in prison but reporters, and his superiors are concerned..Is this a copycat or did he mess up 18 years ago? A brilliantly written story of detection with a few twists and surprises on the way.

How does Cara Hunter do it? This is another brilliant thriller and I couldn’t put it down. It was responsible for too many late nights and looking tired at work!
Adam Fawley helped to put away a criminal years ago - one who preyed on woman. Is there now a copycat out there? A young woman is attacked and some of her hair has been pulled out - just what Gavin Parry did years ago, before he was caught. Then, a young girl is killed and the team need to find out who is doing this before someone else is attached.
Full of twists and turns, and great characters. You just have to keep reading to find out whodunnit! Definitely worth reading but don’t expect to get anything else done.

Detectives are trying to find out who had assaulted a teenage girl but neither the girl or her mother will make a complaint or tell the police what happend.
I did not realise that this was the fourth book in a series and I have not read any of the previous books. I found this storyline a little hard to follow.
Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Books UK for my e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

Again another great instalment in the DI Adam Fawley series.

A taxi driver spots a young female walking along a street seemingly in distress. After taking her home he is still troubled and reports the incident to the police. After visiting the young lady it’s clear an assault of some description has occurred but the victim won’t make a statement. Why?

An old case that Adam was involved with is being heard for appeal against conviction. Did Adam fabricate evidence for a secure conviction?

A gripping police procedural novel that will keep you reading.

Many thanks to the publishers and netgalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

I absolutely love Cara Hunter’s books and was so excited to read her new release - and it certainly didn’t disappoint!

Right from the opening page, Cara Hunter manages to hook you in. This book, her fourth in the series, is very current and in keeping with today’s society. She touches upon many challenges and issues teenagers/young adults are dealing with today and mixes it with a tense and thrilling ride of emotions. The use of Twitter feeds and social media emphasises this as well as incorporating society’s current love of true crime documentaries!

As well as all the current issues, Cara Hunter intertwines a precious case Adam Fawley was involved with. By doing this we find out more about his life and the challenges and emotions he himself is working through.

As with all her books, I find her writing fast paced and she leaves you wanting to read more! Her books seem to be getting better as the series progresses but perhaps this is because we continue to learn about the main characters and follow their lives with them. Full of twists, turns and thrills - this is definitely edge of your seat writing!

I had high expectations with this book after reading the previous 3 DI Fawley books and wasn’t disappointed. It started off really well and was fast paced and thrilling. And the further I read the better the book got. Really likeable characters, written that well I felt I knew them. Lots of twists and turns in the plot and finding out who the killer was shocked me. And the ending - wow, what a cliffhanger. Makes me eager to read the next book.

You can read this without reading the previous three books, and there are references in All The Rage to previous events. I’d recommend you read them though, you get to know more about DI Fawley and his past and who he is.

If you love crime, murder books would really recommend giving this a go.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publishers and author for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Another great addition to the DI Adam Fawley series. Plenty of twists and turns and red herrings so you think you know the culprit but then something happens to make you think again. It can be read as a stand-alone but I would advise to read the series in order so you can get the background into Adams character. I would definitely recommend this book and series.

Cara Hunter has done it again.


This 4th Adam Fawley novel is probably one of my favorite reads of the year. The story itself is extremely cleverly written and there are plot twists upon plot twists.
At one point, I thought I knew what had happened, but I was completely wrong. I truly enjoyed this novel and would recommend it to anyone.

Cara hunter is fast becoming an author to watch

The di fawley series is a amazing. I look forward to her books every time I see that a new one has been released

This one did not disappoint. I absolutely loved this book

Again cara goes the extra mile with the newspaper articles and the interviews (although these did not show up the best on the kindle)

The storyline was excellent as normal.

I am just sad that I have to wait for the next round of di fawley

I never repeat the blurb.
This was another superb DI Fawley mystery, great contemporary themes as usual and full of unexpected polt developments.
I just continue to get slightly aggravated by the social media commentary on the plot which really isn't necessary and the lack of actual 'chapters'.
Won't put me off the next one though, whenever that may be,

Have read Cara Hunters previous books and this one certainly didn’t disappoint.

A young girl is abducted from the street and subjected to a terrifying assault. She manages to escape but is reluctant to let the police investigate. DI Adam Fawley and his trusted team Somers, Everett and Gislingham begin to look into it but why are there are similarities to a historic case of Adam’s and what does this mean for him and the public he is meant to protect. Fab book thank you Cara.

All The Rage (DI Fawley Book 4)
Author: Cara Hunter
Publishers: Penguin UK
Publication Date: 26/12/19

I read the first of Cara Hunter’s DI Fawley books last year, swiftly followed by books 2 & 3. This is the best yet. Tautly plotted, twisty, with a great final reveal, it kept me guessing all the way through. We also get to find out more about Adam Fawley and his wife, and there are some surprises there too. A great police novel., absolutely recommended.

Thanks to the author, publisher and netgalley for providing me with this advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest and unbiased review

Cara Hunter has completely nailed this genre.
I have read all of her previous novels and was really looking forward to this one almost to the point where I was prepared to cut her some slack if it wasn’t on par with those but she absolutely delivered once again.
‘All the Rage’ is one of those books that robs you of your sleep, makes you consider scenarios that shouldn’t belong in your mind and forces a race against the battery in your kindle.
I eventually finished this at 2am with 16% left, then lay awake for a further hour mulling it all over.
The plot is pacy, tight, exciting and tidy and there isn’t a single loose end.
Further applause comes for adding to an existing back story so cleverly yet still managing to make this work incredibly well as a stand alone novel. I don’t know many authors that can do this so effectively.
Many thanks to Netgalley for the opportunity and to Ms Hunter for the sheer entertainment.
When is the next one please?

As I said in a previous review, I’m a huge fan of Cara Hunter’s Adam Fawley series, and was really excited to get an early copy through Netgalley of her third book. Of course, the problem with getting an early copy is having to wait extra long for the next in a series, which means waiting until December for number four. Luckily for me the Netgalley gods took pity on me, giving me access several months early – and if this means next time I’ll may need to wait fifteen months that’s a consequence worth taking. Because All The rage is Hunter’s best book yet.

A girl is brutally attacked and Fawley and his team have to work out whether it’s a targeted hate crime or a potential serial rapist on the loose. There are worrying parallels with a case Fawley worked on nearly twenty years ago, a case that still haunts him and even more worryingly, the man convicted all those years ago still maintains his innocence. With a TV documentation looking into those claims, any hint they got it wrong immediately becomes public scrutiny. So when a second girl goes missing the pressure is on.

One of the real joys and strengths of this series is the team Fawley has built around him. Every character is beautifully drawn with all their strengths, weaknesses and quirks. I also really enjoy the way Hunter writes from so many different points of view, giving the reader a real-time view as the plot unfolds and ensuring we get to know every constable, sergeant, witness and suspect in great depth. Her inclusion of social media gives the book modern day relevance, showcasing humanity in all its gossipy and judgemental ways. All The Rage is shocking, twisty and unputdownable, with an end I didn’t see coming, as tragic as it is clever. A brilliant read, highly recommended.

Interesting story lines, great plots. Intriguing end to one case inconclusive end to the sub story, maybe a continuation in the future. I did find it confusing jumping from one story line to the other, however still a good read.

Current, nail biting and twisty. Cara Hunter's DS Fawley series just gets better and better. This series really takes a fresh and interesting approach to your average police crime procedural. Dive in!

Don’t start this book if you have a list of things you should be doing!! The prologue sucks you in and the pages keep turning. The story expertly leads you in one direction then another and you keep up easily and find yourself when not reading wondering who it could be and why! This is my second Cara Hunter book and I shall be looking to read her next and back catalogue.

A young woman called Faith is attacked, it first appears to be an attempted murder but then looks to be a hate crime. DI Fawley is on the case with his usual team. He’s working hard to solve this crime which has copycat similarities to a previous serial killer, the ‘Roadise Rapist’. This previous case is extremely close to DI Fawley and his wife. Another young lady has gone missing and the community starts to suspect that they caught the wrong guy and the real ‘Roadside Rapist’ is still at large.
.
Cara Hunter does it again, the queen of crime thrillers. Is it me or do her books just get better and better? I’ve love reading the DI Fawley books, his character progression and storylines through the books are brilliant. I was struggling to put this down and ended up reading it in the bath, whilst eating my tea and whilst my partner was watching a film. I was actually a little shocked by the ending. The epilogue makes me desperate for her next book!
.
The only negative is that there were some issues with the imaging formats but Netgalley are already aware and fixing it. Once it’s fixed I will have another browse so I can see them.
