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. Hunter’s knack for turning ordinary environments—city streets, schools, quiet suburbs—into sites of suspense makes All the Rage feel startlingly immediate, relevant, and utterly unputdownable for fans of contemporary crime fiction.
Who This Book Is Perfect For:
This novel is ideal for adult readers who love fast-paced, character-driven crime thrillers with a strong procedural backbone. It will appeal to fans of police-investigation plots set in the UK, readers who enjoy courtroom-ready twists, and those who appreciate a protagonist who delivers both intellect and empathy in equal measure. It’s a great pick for book clubs seeking a gripping, discussion-worthy thriller, and for gift buyers looking for a standout, high-stakes crime novel that stands up to repeat reads.
Key Highlights:
- Unputdownable pacing that sustains suspense from page one to the final reveal
- Compelling, humane portrayal of DI Adam Fawley and his investigative approach
- High-stakes plot with a shocking twist that prompts reflection on justice and memory
- Sharp, contemporary setting rooted in real-world concerns
- Perfect for BookTok and crime-fiction enthusiasts seeking a modern thriller

About the Author:
Cara Hunter writes the acclaimed DI Adam Fawley series, known for its tight plotting, clinical detail, and nuanced character work. With a background in crime fiction that balances procedural accuracy with deep emotional stakes, Hunter has established herself as a leading voice in contemporary UK thrillers. All the Rage demonstrates her signature craft: a plot engineered to surprise without feeling contrived, and characters whose choices force readers to confront difficult questions about truth, memory, and accountability. Her lean, efficient prose keeps the tension high while allowing readers to invest in Fawley’s professional and personal challenges, making her novels consistently compelling for fans of modern crime fiction.
Why You’ll Love This Book:
If you crave a roller-coaster of suspense rooted in real-world police work, All the Rage delivers. The book blends a claustrophobic, high-stakes investigation with humane, believable characters and a plot that tackles difficult social questions with sensitivity and clarity. It’s a standalone thriller that rewards attentive reading and offers plenty of talking points for book clubs, while still delivering the page-turning intensity readers expect from a Richard and Judy Book Club favourite. Owning this title means you’re getting a sharply written, highly re-readable crime novel that stands out in a crowded market for its moral nuance, pace, and lasting impact.
