They'll Never Catch Us

By Jessica Goodman

Book Overview

"Razor-sharp and keenly precise. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn " --Tiffany D. Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of White Smoke

A fast-paced thriller about two sisters on their cross-country team and the new girl who threatens their success--and then disappears, from the New York Times bestselling author of They Wish They Were Us.

The Steckler sisters are star runners, and as different as they are, they won't let anything - or anyone - get in their way. Then enter Mila, a talented - and fast - runner, whose times threaten the sisters' dominance on the cross-country trails. With college scouts taking notice, the pressure is on.

But then Mila suddenly vanishes while out on a training run. No one knows what happened and no one can find her.

And all eyes turn towards the ones with most to gain from Mila's disappearance: the Steckler sisters.

"Just when you think you've figured out the mystery, Goodman delivers a twist that will send you reeling."--Diana Urban, bestselling author of Under the Surface

Customer Reviews

Slow Burn but good!

This book was interesting. I am a long distance walker venturing into jogging and so the bits with the training for long distance running intrigued me. Add in the disappearance of Mila and this was a book that I sped through fairly quickly. After finishing it, I had a new appreciation for the detail that was put into the cover with the lilac shoes. I must say, I did not see that end coming. I was totally thinking the Mila's death was caused by someone else. I also liked how, although Stella and Ellie were in competition with each other and had their own secrets that eventually came to light, they still had each other's backs when it counted most. I preferred that connection, more so than what the author tried to do with Mila and the sisters. That did seem a little quick how they both became such good friends with Mila. It probably would have been more believable if there had been more time between Mila's arrival and then disappearance. It was still a good book despite that and I liked the twist.
