Review: It Takes One to Know One

It Takes One to Know One by Isla Dewar
My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Charlie Gavin was abducted as a baby. He didn’t know who he was or where he came from. His mission was to find himself. And when he did, he decided to spend his life finding other lost souls by opening the Be Kindly Missing Persons Bureau.
Martha Walters, his assistant, has had her fifteen minutes of almost fame and failed. Now, dealing with her guilt and pain, she lives with her mum and dotes on her young daughter. Charlie appears to be a man who is a loser and dreamer, but, hey, his office is near her house, she can lie in of a morning, take her kid to school and the work isn’t too heart-breaking. Or is it . . . ?
 

This is what I call a "nice" book. It's easy to read, nothing bad about it but it's not a masterpiece. It provided an enjoyable interlude. Was a bit hard to follow in the middle - too many characters introduced but not detailed enough to be able to keep track of them.
