Corie Geller used to be an FBI agent, but traded in her badge for the domestic life. Married with a fourteen year old stepdaughter, Corie spends her time reading Arabic fiction and meeting with a group of friends on Wednesday. Sensing that something is just not right about one of her neighbors, Corie takes matters in her own hands and starts an investigation.
Takes One to Know One shows how ingrained the principles of law enforcement can bury themselves into a person's psyche. I just wish that the story itself, as well as the characterization, was more interesting. It is formulaic, transparent, and boring at times, which prompted me to skim pages in the middle section of the book. The predictable ending, coupled with an overly dramatic caricature of a bored wife and mother, gives me reason to not recommend Takes One to Know One to other readers.
Atlantic Monthly Press and NetGalley provided me with an electronic copy of Takes One to Know One. I chose to review this book and my opinion is freely given.
