Corie Geller gave up a position with the FBI Terrorist Task Force to become a wife and mother, although she still works for them on a contract basis. She is fluent in Arabic and now scouts Arabic fiction for publication. Responding to an article in the Shorehaven Sentinel, she joins a support group for freelancers who meet weekly for lunch.
Corie’s training kicks in when she notices peculiarities in the behavior of one of the members. Pete Delaney must always sit facing the window, where he continually watches his car. His responses to questions from the group seem terse and he rarely offers any personal information. Using her contacts with the FBI she begins to investigate Pete. She also consults with her father, a former NY policeman who saw to her training in martial arts and encouraged her interest in law enforcement. What she eventually finds is more than she ever considered, putting her in mortal danger.
Susan Isaacs is in top form with this thriller. Corie’s description of life in the suburbs and dealing with a teenager are humorous and sometimes had me laughing out loud. Isaacs can also put you on the edge of your seat as she builds the tension to the final confrontation. This is a book that I could not put down and Takes One to Know One has become one of my favorite books this year.
I would like to thank Bookish First and Grove Atlantic for providing a copy of this book for my review.
