Liar's Bench by Kim Michele Richardson
2.0
Strong start and then it somewhat muddles through to the end. I liked the motif of the Liar's Bench, but I am uncertain why anyone would sit there considering its reputation.
The plotting is fitful and I'm not really sure what Mama was actually doing at the end and why. If they already had enough evidence, who let her have one last escapade? Nor do I believe that all of this began the days after the funeral.
The overall arc is fine, but the meticulous details and resolutions needed more attention. Who was the stranger in the white truck? How did she earn a scholarship if she quit the team?
