Takes One to Know One is a basic mystery that is as boring as the main character's suburban life.
Corie Keller used to chase terrorists for a living but left the FBI to get married and be a mom to her stepdaughter. Cori works in publications and meets with a lunch group that discusses their current freelance work. At one of these lunches, Corie gets a feeling about one of her group members. But is Peter really dangerous or is she inventing intrigued because she's bored in Suburbia?
I had a hard time getting through this book. It was mundane in every aspect and not just in the detailed of the suburban life. The storyline is basic with no twists or turns. While there is some discussion of if she was inventing the danger, it didn't really look into the idea and the story was straightforward.
I was hoping for a twist or something exciting. But even the climax doesn't give you a true sense of danger. Plus, the most interesting parts are told to the character afterward; you don't even get to live through it.
A basic story dragged down with suburban life, I would tell my friends to pass on this.
