I received an advanced copy of Takes on to Know One through Bookishfirst in exchange for an honest review!

Takes One to Know One, by Susan Isaacs tells the thrilling story of Corie Geller, Ex-interrogator for the terrorist investigation department for the FBI as she discovers that everything is not as it seems in her new “perfect” suburban life. After retiring from the FBI in order to be more present for her new family, Corie has struggled to adapt to the normalcy her life rarely used to hold. In an attempt to expand her world, Corie attends weekly meetings with other local self employed individuals, which is where she meets Pete Delaney. At first, Pete strikes Corie as simply an unusual man, but her investigative instincts won’t allow her to leave a potential case without further inquiry. Soon it becomes obvious to Corie that Pete Delaney is not who he pretends to be, but finding out what he’s hiding will take all of her former-FBI power.

This book is a tad outside my usual reading realm, but I found myself really enjoying the story and characters! Susan Isaacs has knocked out an epically exciting mystery novel in Takes One to Know One! I loved her writing style and the way her characters developed into real, knowable people.

You can get your copy of Takes one to Know One from Grove Atlantic on October 1st!

My Recommendation-
I would recommend this book to people in search of a thrilling mystery to break up suburban boredom (after all that is what the protagonist does)! Additionally, people who don’t generally read mysteries should definitely give Takes One to Know One a try, as it is sure to entertain even the most reluctant of readers!
