The Competition

By: Marcia Clark

Narrated by: January LaVoy

In Marcia Clark's most electrifying thriller yet, Los Angeles District Attorney Rachel Knight investigates a horrifying high school massacre.

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?

A dramatic leap forward in Marcia Clark's highly acclaimed Rachel Knight series, The Competition is an unforgettable story that will stay with readers long after the last page has been turned.

Why does Bailey sound like she’s tired, sick or on drugs? It’s annoying and seems different than the last book Killer Ambition

Likable Characters and Enthralling Storyline

This is my first Marcia Clark novel. I immensely enjoyed it. The characters were very likable. I loved the details of their personalities shining through with their eccentricities. The storyline was riveting. This is number four in the series if I remember correctly. There were some references made to other stories but that didn’t distract from this novel.

Great Book!

Love this book. Great story. This is only the second book I've listen to by Marcia Clark and I am pretty sure I will be seeking out her books. I love the good natured ribbing between Rachel and Bailey. And of course the narrator is my very favorite narrator and that is January LaVoy! Nobody performs better than Miss LaVoy!

Love this series

I have been pleasantly surprised by this entire series. I have to say that January LaVoy is by far my favorite narrator! In fact, I happened upon the Rachel Knight series because I was searching for other books read by LaVoy.

Wow. a Columbine style school shooting thriller

this has it all. realism, twist and turns, action. suspense. its graphic so beware. but fully shows the world we live in today.
