About the author
D.E. Funk
6 books12 followersFunk started her career in education with middle schoolers, moved to high school, and ended up in college. She now teaches history and criminal justice at a local community college. Coming from a long line of ancestors who love all things pertaining to reading, writing, and learning, it was only natural for her to tackle the task of completing a novel. As an avid reader who especially enjoys the history of crime, she weaves interesting facts among her characters and locations.
Mental health issues can be part of the psyche of a serial killer. In Silent Rage Russell’s character is developed by the difficulties he encountered in his troubled youth. We all wonder why someone chooses to do evil. Were they born that way or made that way by the environment surrounding them? Perhaps it is a combination of the two. However, just because things are tough at home doesn’t mean that person is doomed to a life of crime. Many of the youth of today are not taught how to handle the pressures handed to them by society.
Silent Rage tackles the nature vs nurture question. While DE Funk enjoys writing and takes inspiration from the immortal words of Winston Churchill and “never gives-up,” she hopes to entertain with her books and inspire readers to consider helping a troubled kid.
Her debut novel, Silent Rage, was awarded Best Suspense at the 2019 Killer Nashville International Writer’s Conference.

Not really about the serial killer
The books are ok. I was very disappointed because the majority of the books focused much more on Libby & Mike. Plus other characters. There was some focus on Russell but not enough to promote that the books were supposedly about the life of the making of a serial killer. He was basically a side story.

Could barely put it down
An amazing sequel to Silent Rage. Great read that leaves you wondering about the “what if’s.” The ending is particularly intense, and makes me anxious to read the next book in the series

Great series
In this story we find Libby and crew trying to find the killer of so many women. It is a fantastic mysterious, who dunnit. If you enjoy that genre, you will not be disappointed.

I'm not wasting any time

A Great Read!
Though this is the second book in the Rage series, it can be read as a stand-alone novel. In the first book Russell is a troubled teen who shows all the signs of becoming a killer. In 𝘿𝙚𝙖𝙛𝙚𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙍𝙖𝙜𝙚, an adult Russell doesn’t let anything, or anyone, stand in the way of what he wants. Unlike some books that gloss over what it’s really like to deal with a serial killer, this book holds nothing back! But more than just telling about the murders, this book delves into the backstory. Why do serial killers kill? Read this well-researched book if you love an intense thriller.
My sincere thanks to @defunk.author for my gifted copy. My thoughts are my own.
