Rage: A Gripping Psychological Thriller

I've actually loved every book that I've read by Netta Newbound. Rage was no exception. I'm not sure whether to rate it a thriller or mystery/suspense. Perhaps it should be all three.I particularly love a book that keeps me guessing all the way to the end. This one does that. The story revolves around Lizzie although there are many characters to get to know. Hired to take care of a patient who is dying and must be constantly sedated Lizzie has a lot of time to think--and forgetting to give him his medication one night opens up some serious questions she hasto ask herself. If her employer finds out she'll be fired, but her patient deserves the opportunity to live just a little before he dies, doesn't he?Add a handsome widower who lives next door, his adorable daughter, Kate, and who doesn't love a curious puppy--until he discovers a dead body near the garden. Who killed the young teacher? Could Charlie have done this on one of the nights she didn't sedate him? And what is Phil hiding and why does he seem so guilty?You'll have to read it for yourself to find out. A definite five star read for mystery lovers. Highly recommended.

Yes, like all of Netta's books, I gobbled this up like it was covered in chocolate. Another who done it from this amazing storyteller. Bummer, I finished it yesterday. Yes, it's one of those books that leaves you wanting more!Who could have done this horrible deed? Keeps you guessing. Phill? Charlie? Or that nasty piece of work across the street. Please don't let it be Phill or Charlie!One must remember this takes place in the UK and for us Yanks, sometimes it takes a little thinking regarding their jargon. Don't let that detour you from reading this wonderful thriller. As it is where ever you live, the local dialect seems natural to you. I live in Georgia, USA, and I could write a whole book on the things we say here.Mrs. Newbound, I'm patiently waiting for your next book. Please don't make us wait too long. In the meantime, I'm off for a cuppa!

This book was fantastic easy to read very good !I did not even suspect who the killer was not even a little what a surprise!the last sentence was unbelievable I hope there is another book about the last sentence,I don't see one.I have really enjoyed all her books so far

This book is difficult to put down. It is a fast read and it will hold your interest to find out who is guilty. I highly recommend it.

This was a thrilling read. I couldn’t put it down. This story has so many twists and I didn’t see any of them coming. Such a well written story that will keep you guessing all the way through.

This was an absolute fun read. A light suspense story with moments of intense thrill. I loved the way the author allowed my pulse rate to come down before making it shoot up. Oooh my heart did get a good workout.Lizzie, a nurse, is hired my Miriam to keep her brother Charlie sedated all the time 24*7. Apparently, he had a brain tumor and was in intense pain, prone to violent attacks. One evening, Lizzie forgot the meds, and Charlie woke up. She found him to be pain free and sane enough. Taking an independent call, she decreased his dosage. A woman was found strangled down the garden the same night. Was it Charlie? Had Lizzie made the biggest mistake of her life?My first book by Netta Newbound, and with such a beginning, I knew it was going to be quite exciting. So I decided to don my Detective hat. Was the patient faking it, the doc in me asked the question. I needed to know the truth. Armed with my magnifying glass (I just increased the size of the font on kindle😂), I looked at all the characters with suspicion.The neighbor Ben with his links to the dead woman, the gross neighbor Nigel across the street with no respect for women, Charlie, who was supposedly sedated but wasn't, with his tendency to batter women, or Lizzie herself who appeared to be a bit too friendly with Ben. Was she in with him? Netta's easy to read way of writing got all these questions wrapped up in my mind. I could feel my brain cells zinging to and fro trying to eliminate each suspect.But the author one upped on me, every time I laid a suspect to rest, she wrote something which made me doubt them again. I kept going in circles. Then the author brought in another abusive murder. What the freak!! I hadn't solved the first one yet. The characters were seriously unlikable to me now.Then the book raced on to the finale which was explosive. I had a slight inkling of the identity of the perp by the process of elimination, and the murder mystery was ultimately solved. Did I not tell you good cardiac workout?!!A breakfast read, I had galores of fun reading this book. Got to read the rest of her books. A talented writer, for sure.

I am a huge fan of this authors books and have been dying to read this since it was published. Netta Newbound is an author who never fails to deliver a well and truly electrifying read!Right from the off there is something a bit off with the whole arrangement that Lizzie finds herself in. Miriam certainly isn’t an overly likeable character and I wanted to scream at Lizzie to run for the hills. Things are about to take a darker and even stranger turn when Miriam goes away leaving Lizzie and her patient alone.I loved Phil and his daughter Kate. There isn’t a vast amount of characters in this book of which you would think it would make things easier as to who the killer is. Well it doesn’t. I kept swapping my mind and hoping for all it was worth that it wasn’t a couple of different characters as I liked them to much. It really keeps you on your toes as you wait for everything to unravel.Rage is an absolute page turner of a read that will consume you. I read it in two sittings only putting it down to go to sleep. The author is a mastermind at shocking revelations that had me on edge through out as I knew they would be there somewhere, just not when or how. Another cracker of a read by the author and an absolute must read for fans of dark, twisted psychological thrillers.

When nurse Lizzi Yates is assigned to take care of Charlie Maidley a celebrity footballer who has a brain tumor...she is instructed to keep him sedated at all times by his sister Miriam..When Miriam goes away on business and Lizzi accidentally lowers the dosage Charlie Wales up , and Lizzi decides in her own mind that she will keep lowering the dosage as Charlie becomes more coherent...But one dark night when Lizzi let's the dog out , after searching for an age she finds the dog and the body of a woman at the end of her garden ...As the police investigate , Lizzi is befriended by the little girl Kate from next door who lives with her brother Ben and their dad Phil a widower...But what follows next is so creepy, dark, unthinkable and evil...that this dark grey storytelling will leave you chilled and shaken...Mother of God in Heaven this is Netta Newbounds best book since The Watcher.....Five Glittering Stars from me ...I was on tenderhooks all the way till the end....

I became an instant fan of Netta Newbound after reading one of her books and now can’t get enough of her books..Rage is well worth reading and keeps you guessing right to the end..highly recommended! I’m not going to go into what the book is all about..buy it ..read it..you will not be disappointed..I read it in a day..couldn’t put it down

Thoroughly enjoyed this book and read it in a few days, no boring bits at all. I clocked who killed Erin by chapter 34 mind. The ending leaves you wondering and I would have liked a follow up book.

I love Netta's books and this is no different, a brillaint story that kept me guessing all along. I didn't see the twist coming at all and that was before the shock revelation at the end!! Brilliant!
