Learn how your comment data is processed. Verdict: A little slow to start, Cara Hunter’s All the Rage is ultimately a strongly plotted, chilling police procedural that is a shocking and savage indictment on our society and which left my heart a little bit broken. When it comes, it is devastating and truly shocking and I felt genuinely sad, knowing that such real life crimes do indeed take place. Told from multiple POV’S, the author manages to create an atmosphere of suspicion which casts doubt on the motives of everyone involved, keeping the reader involved and needing to know the outcome. Hunter takes us into some dark places as she suggests hate crime, gross moral turpitude, and serious violence in this well-plotted book.Īll the Rage is a contemporary novel which, as is usual in Hunter’s books, utilises interview transcripts, excerpts of court proceedings and social media feeds throughout the police investigation, lending an extra layer of authenticity. The cases here feel very real a potential miscarriage of justice from an old case that Fawley was involved in and an edgy, unsettling set of crimes that touch the dark heart of what the police have to deal with.Īn attack on teenage Faith, then the disappearance of one of her classmates gives Fawley and his team a nightmare case that is full of horribly similar details to the old case whose antagonist is now coming up for parole and is preparing to is appeal his conviction.įawley has more than one reason to be disturbed by this turn of events, as if the disappearance of the girl is not disturbing enough. The basic story actually was quite complex and I really got stuck into it in depth. Easily read as a standalone, lovers of this series will be pleased to know that there is more of Fawley’s personal story in this police procedural, allowing the reader to understand more of his character as these details are revealed.

Adam Fawley books and this one was no exception. Without more evidence, it’s looking like the police may have to drop the case.īut what happens if Faith’s attacker strikes again?

What’s more, when DC Erica Somer interviews Faith, she quickly becomes convinced that Faith knows who her abductor is. įaith Appleford was attacked, a plastic bag tied over her head, taken to an isolated location. But it’s unlike any abduction DI Fawley’s seen before. Publication: 23 January 2020 from Penguin BooksĪ girl is taken from the streets of Oxford.
