Faith Applewood, is found injured and distraught, wandering the streets of Oxford by a taxi driver.  She has been abducted, had a plastic bag tied over her head and taken to a remote location, but by some miracle, managed to escape. But she doesn’t report it to the police and refuses to press charges. When it becomes apparent that this may be a hate crime, the police start doing some digging and alarmingly, find similarities to some other cases from almost 20 years ago. Then another teenage girl goes missing and it becomes a race against time to save her. All the Rage is the 4th book in the DI Adam Fawley series and I now want to go back and read all the others!  I think this book works as a standalone so you don’t have to have read the pervious instalments, but I would have liked to have known some of Adam Fawley’s backstory. An intelligent and exciting crime thriller, I’d advise not to read this if you have anything else you need to be doing, as you will want to be picking it up every spare moment.  Absolutely gripping, full of suspense and some pretty huge shocks (for me anyway), I think this is one the best crime books I have ever read and I will go back and read earlier instalments and also look out for the next! Thank you to @penguinukbooks for my #gifted copy as part of the blog tour. Full review is on the blog! #alltherage #carahunter #diadamfawley #crimethriller #crimeseries #blogtour #bookreview #bookblogger #booksoutside
I had a discussion with @asarahcarter the other day about what seems to have become a trend in literature about Auschwitz. It makes me feel uncomfortable that it seems to have become a "trend" but on the flip side, if it means we don't forget what happened and if it educates people about what happened then maybe that's a good thing. Featured are some books I have on Auschwitz, all based on true stories. Today is the International Holocaust Remembrance Day and this year is commemorating the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

After the terrorist attacks at the Bataclan in Paris in 2015, freelance journalist Stefania Rousselle was broken and depressed. She decided to go in search of love. She travelled around France recording all sorts of stories of love, and this wonderful book is the result of that road trip. ❤ The stories are short and beautiful and there are some wonderful pictures. I've picked this up on several occasions to read and ended up reading for longer than I intended. ❤ A beautiful collection, this is the perfect gift for Valentine's Day, a fascinating peek into other people's lives! ❤ Thank you so much to Hannah at @vikingbooksuk for my #gifted copy as part of the bookstagram tour. ❤ With special thanks to my son @tommadethis who designed and decorated the hearts for me! ❤ @stefaniarousselle #amour #howthefrenchtalkaboutlove #coffeetablebooks #stefaniarousselle #amourbook #booksaboutlove #roadtripphotography #valentinesday #loveislove #france #docubooks

Today is my turn on the #bookstagram tour for Haven't They Grown by Sophie Hannah. Being nosy one day, Beth ends up outside the house of her former best friend, Flora. While parked outside the gated property, she sees Flora get out her car, followed by her two children, Thomas and Emily. But it has been 12 years since Beth has seen the family. And Thomas and Emily are the same age they were when she last saw them. How can that be possible? Why haven't they grown? What an intriguing premise for a story! This turned out to be a detective novel of sorts...Beth is determined to find out the truth, aided by her family but especially her sassy teenage daughter Zannah. I had no idea where this book was going. There are a whole cast of characters who try and put Beth off the scent but she doesn't give in and I really enjoyed this book. This is my first Sophie Hannah and I admire the imagination used to write this story, which is very much set in the real world. Thank you to @paper.charm for inviting me on the #bookstagramtour and for my #gifted proof copy. Swipe through to see who else is taking part over the next few days! #haventtheygrown #sophiehannah #psychologicalthrillers #booktours #papercharm #bookstagram #bookblogger #bookreview #mysterybooks
