They'll never catch us by Jessica Goodman was definitely interesting. I will say that murder mysteries aren't really my 'thing' but I read it anyway since it's about running. I didn't love the writing style and sometimes I felt that it was doing a lot more telling rather than showing and it made the novel feel kind of bland. Although it was like this majority of the time, there was definitely a lot of detail and thought gone into the running scenes and I could really relate to it. This book cover lots of really important topics and themes and did so pretty well. I wouldn't necessarily outright recommend this book to anyone, but if somebody asked then I would say that it was a good read and to definitely give it a go.
