“A great read”
(Paperback)
This is the first Cara Hunter book I have read which I really enjoyed so this won’t be the last I will definitely be reading the rest of the series.
I loved that it I didn’t guess who did it which usual happens in most books before you get to the end. I found the character interesting and loved that it was in Oxford.
“Brilliant”
(Paperback)
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.
“An absolutely brilliant read”
(Paperback)
I have read, reviewed and loved all four books in the DI Adam Fawley series. I thought that the first three books were good but 'All The Rage' is the best of the series so far. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it but more about that in a bit.
What can I say about Detective Inspector Adam Fawley? Well I have consistently liked him throughout the series and 'All The Rage' has done nothing to change my view of him. He is a police officer with many years of experience behind him. He works well as part of a team but he works equally well on his own. The team works well with each other but as with all tight knit teams or families, there are sometimes petty squabbles which occasionally requires Fawley to intervene. Fawley seems to have a relatively settled home life with his significant other called Alex, who he has been with for quite a while now. They have a pretty strong relationship although they are feeling the stress at the moment. Alex is pregnant and due to past events, both Alex and Adam are finding it extremely difficult to relax or to 'enjoy' the pregnancy as it were. Adam is under pressure at work and at home. Will Adam solve the case? Will Adam and his partner manage to relax about their pregnancy? Well for the answers to those questions and more you are just going to have to read the book for yourselves to find out as I am not going to tell you.
It took me next to no time to get into this book. It's no word of a lie when I say that as soon as I got to the end of the first page, I was addicted to the story. I knew that arranging to do anything else other than read this book was pointless because I knew that I wasn't going to be moving very far at all. The book wasn't exactly glued to my hand but it might as well have been because it travelled everywhere with me. I couldn't bear to miss a single second of the story or of the investigation. The pages turned increasingly quickly as my need to know what happened steadily grew and grew. Then all too quickly I reached the end o the book, which I was disappointed about. I was enjoying the author's writing style, the characters and the storylines so much that I just wish that the book had continued for a lot longer than it did.
The series featuring Detective Inspector Adam Fawley is written in a different sort of way to the vast majority of crime novels. The book isn't written in the traditional format, using chapters, and it is written incorporating police interview transcripts, text message exchanges, letters and official government documentation among other things as well as Fawley explaining events from his own personal viewpoint and telling the story in the traditional sense. At the beginning of the series I was a bit sceptical as to whether or not this bold way of telling the story would work because I thought that the story wouldn't flow as I had hoped. However, I needn't have worried because this way of telling the tale worked a treat and the story flowed seamlessly as a result.
The author grabbed my attention from the start with an event so shocking that it has guaranteed that the book will stay fresh in my mind for a long time to come. The story hit the ground running and maintained a fast pace throughout. Reading this book felt like watching the equivalent of a Hollywood blockbuster action movie. I was gripped by the story and on the edge of my seat throughout. At times I almost has to read through my fingers as I feared what was going to happen next. The story left me breathless and stunned in equal measure.
In short, 'All The Rage' was another amazing read from Cara Hunter and I will definitely be recommending this book to other readers. I will definitely be reading more from Cara's work in the future. Here's hoping that we don't have too long to wait for her next book. The score on the Ginger Book Geek board is a very well deserved 5* out of 5*.
“Fantastic series”
(Paperback)
This is Book 4 in the DI Adam Fawley detective series. I have just finished reading books 2,3 and 4 back to back. Oh my word this series just keeps on getting better and better. All the Rage was another brilliant read in this series. Right from the very start I was gripped. DI Adam Fawley and his team are on a mission to find the person who abducted and badly hurt a young girl and whilst this is all going on another young girl goes missing. Are these cases connected ? This book was a rollercoaster of a ride, one minute I suspected one person and the next another. So many twists and turns i was holding my breath at times. So excited now to read Book 5 .
