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.

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.
