By TUCSON ROBERT Wow, Marcia Clark has done it again with her latest Rachel Knight novel, The Competition. It’s a stand along book, but who would want to pass up the previous three in the Knight series. The topic—a high school mass murder—was a difficult subject to tackle without turning everyone off in the first chapter. Clark has managed the subject with sensitivity and dignity while writing an intriguing “can’t put it down” novel. The book begins with a mass shooting at a Los Angeles valley high school. It appears that the disguised killer duo had as their goal to outdo the Columbine murderers—and they succeeded. At first it is thought the killers committed suicide. Fortunately, an alert medical examiner quickly discovered the two bodies in the library could not have been the killers and were in fact victims. This set off a lengthy and intensely intriguing investigative search by Rachel Knight, Assistant District Attorney for the Special Trials Unit from L.A. County, and her partner and best bud, Bailey Keller, LAPD homicide detective in search of the killers. Clark’s writing is enticing—narration flows easily and the dialogue is engaging and always representative of the character. The novel delves deeply into the psychological makeup of a mass killer’s mind. Clark discusses the mental make up of a narcissist. He most certainly is empathy-challenged and self-absorbed, but not usually dangerous; while on the other hand, the severe psychopath is extremely dangerous in every way. The story is fast-paced. Someone made the comment that the story is so well-written that at times you wonder if you’re reading nonfiction. The reader is led to feel the emotions of the parents who found that they did not know their own children. Marcia Clark took an extremely difficult and emotional subject and wrote an enlightened and educational page turner. I guarantee that you will have difficulty putting this book down. I rate The Competition a strong five plus.

By Walt Bristow What if a couple kids decided to repeat some of the worst mass shootings in the United States – and then do them one better? Starting with a Columbine-style school shooting at a Los Angeles area high school and continuing with an Aurora-style theater shooting, author Marcia Clark takes you for a roller-coaster ride that just doesn’t stop. Just as you think L.A. County's Special Trials Prosecutor Rachel Knight and Detective Bailey Keller have narrowed in on the two shooters, all bets are off. The real killers may still be out there, preparing for their next rampage.This, the fourth in the Rachel Knight series, is every bit as good – probably better – than the others. Clark, a former prosecutor who led the team in the O.J Simpson trial, brings a professional realism to this thriller that will keep you engaged from the first page to the last.The story starts with a high school pep rally turned blood bath. When two bodies are found in the school library with weapons nearby, we think Knight and Keller have the killers. But just a few inconsistencies in the scene suggest otherwise. So, who are these two and what role, if any, did they play in the carnage? Were they part of the killing spree? Or victims? When someone starts dropping clues that the killing spree is far from over, Knight and Keller begin a cat and mouse chase to find the true killers. Just when you think you’ve figured it out, Clark rips the ground from underneath you and sends you down another frightening path.Two forensic scientists are brought into to help identify the personality of a psychopathic killer. Their discussion of that personality is chilling; you’ll find yourself thinking of people who have entered the stage that is your life and who were downright creepy. Could one of your friends become a mass-murderer?The action is fast. The dialogue crisp and believable. Written as if you were looking over the shoulder of the characters, you are quickly drawn in to their lives. You will feel like you’re watching a carefully edited documentary that lets you experience the chase for the killers and that lets you get into the minds and emotions of the characters. You’ll feel the gut-wrenching emotions of parents who discover the child they thought they knew was really a person they could not know. And you’ll find yourself so caught up in the details that Clark lays out for you that you’ll wonder if you are reading a novel or a work of non-fiction.This is a five-star work. Buy it. Check it out from your library. Ask a friend for her copy. But read it.Review based on a pre-release copy from NetGalley.com

A Columbine Style School Shooting By Nancy Famolari Assistant DA, Rachael Knight, and her friend Detective Bailey Keller are summoned to the scene of what appears to be a Columbine copy-cat shooting spree. However, the findings at the scene don't line up. The supposed killers committed suicide, or did they? Dr. Shoe, the medical examiner, says the dead boys couldn't be the shooters.This is the beginning of a tense search for the messed up teenagers who are on a killing rampage. The plot has many twists which keeps you reading to figure out what will happen next. I wouldn't recommend this book, if you're squeamish about mass murder, but the plot moves quickly and the author doesn't give undue space to the horror of the scene.The novel is a fast paced crime thriller. There's hardly time to get to absorb one set of facts before being hit by another twist. Although the subject matter was uncomfortable, the author used the book to give insights into the psychological makeup of this kind of killer as well as the legal problems surrounding trying juvenile killers. The background on previous school shootings added reality to the story.I enjoyed the book. However, it was because of the fast pace rather than the characters. So much was happening that the characters became more talking heads interviewing suspects than real people. In this book that wasn't a limitation because the interviews were the meat of the book. However, if you enjoy character driven novels, this is definitely plot driven and probably not for you.I reviewed this book for Net Galley.
