Title:
All the Rage
Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Paperback
Overview:
History doesn’t repeat itself. Does it? All the Rage opens with a brutal, chilling confession from a distressed teenage girl found on the outskirts of Oxford. The story she tells is gripping: someone snatched her from the street, a plastic bag placed over her head, and a journey to a remote place where a terrible assault occurred. DI Adam Fawley is determined to uncover the truth, even as the girl refuses to press charges, leaving him with a haunting sense that he may have seen this exact scenario before. When a second girl vanishes, the pressure intensifies and Fawley realises time is running out as the clock ticks toward a second possibility of tragedy. Written with the taut, procedural rigor fans crave in UK crime fiction, All the Rage blends contemporary social currents with a race-against-the-clock investigation that keeps readers turning the pages. A Richard and Judy Book Club bestseller of 2020, this standalone thriller delivers a nerve-jangling reading experience that lingers long after the final page is turned.
What Makes This Book Stand Out:
Cara Hunter crafts a forensic, deeply human portrait of modern crime that feels both intimate and expansive. The narrative voice follows DI Fawley with clinical precision, balancing methodical police work with the messy, emotional consequences for everyone involved. The plot pivots on ethical choices: what happens when a survivor withholds her account, when evidence is scarce, and when personal loyalties threaten to derail justice. The tension is relentless, built through meticulous scene-setting and a chilling sense of inevitability as past patterns begin to echo in the present. Hunters knack for turning ordinary environmentscity streets, schools, quiet suburbsinto sites of suspense makes All the Rage feel startlingly immediate, relevant, and utterly unputdownable for fans of contemporary crime fiction.
