THE COMPETITION

Author:  Marcia Clark
Genre:  Thriller/Rachel Knight Series #4
Published:  2014
Personal Rating:  4/5 (very good)
Format:  eBook
Yearly Count:  10


From NetGalley:
A Columbine-style shooting at a high school in the San Fernando Valley has left a community shaken to its core. Two students are identified as the killers. Both are dead, believed to have committed a mutual suicide.

In the aftermath of the shooting, LA Special Trials prosecutor Rachel Knight teams up with her best girlfriend, LAPD detective Bailey Keller. As Rachel and Bailey interview students at the high school, they realize that the facts don’t add up. Could it be that the students suspected of being the shooters are actually victims? And if so, does that mean that the real killers are still on the loose?

Another winner by Marcia Clark.  :)  I have thoroughly enjoyed this series and look forward to each new addition.  This almost received a 4.25/5 (very good +), but I think it went a little too far with the "surprises."  Although, they didn't surprise me.  I expected them.  I didn't know, but expected.  Despite that, I still love Marcia's writing style.

Thoughts of Joy


My thanks go to Mulholland Books and NetGalley for providing me with this eGalley.

    1. Susan ~ I definitely like her books A LOT! :) They come across to me as realistic and a little more conversational than technical, if that makes sense. Of course, there are parts of each book I don't buy into 100%, but ... in general, I really enjoy this series.
