They'll Never Catch Us by Jessica Goodman
3.25
mysterious slow-paced

In this town, running is king and running can get you killed.

The Steckler sisters are both on the high school's cross country team. Stella got in trouble and had to go to a camp for runners that doubles as a rehab. Ellie is younger and getting faster like her sister. This town has had several runners killed and a new girl will be the latest victim.

I didn't guess who killed the new girl but it wasn't the one I expected it to be. The truth is a little twisted. The competitiveness of this town is crazy. Also, school administration knowingly letting underage kids get drunk just because they win races...unreal.

I did like the sister relationship. I'm always a sucker for them, seeing what they will or won't let each other get away with. This was an ok book.
