Product Description
Synopsis
Featuring the protagonist of "Give My Secrets Back", Denver cop Alison Kane escapes from the stresses of her life to stay with her best friend in New Mexico. But while helping to build a house on lesbian land, she discovers a body in the sweat lodge and suspects it's a murder case.
From the Author
My favorite so far!
I had a really great time writing this one - I got to explore a lot of my own stereotypes about people in the queer community, plus it was just fun being in a new place. (Take One is set in New Mexico, which is one of the places where I grew up.) I'm working on a new Alison novel which I think is due to come out next year.

Kate Allen goes from strength to strength,
By A Customer
This review is from: Takes One to Know One: An Alison Kaine Mystery (Paperback)
Another great dyke thriller from Kate Allen. The characters that she has created, Denver cop Allison, dominatrix girl-friend Stacey, best friend the ever-so PC Michelle, lawyer Liz and all the others are further developed in this great novel. This is coupled with a very exciting plot line which challenges many lesbian hang-ups, particulary those around trans-gendered people.The murder victim is so nasty that you can only cheer when she is killed and Allison's frustration at her attempts to assert patriarchal laws on wimmin's land are well described. Yet it is the small things that make me long for more Kate Allen novels. Allison dealing with her fears around disabilty and Michelle fighting for independence with a baby in her home are the kind of things that offer insights into the characters and make me want to know more. This is coupled with a great sense of humour - I have actually laughed out loud while reading Kate Allen. Stacey's and Liz's Fun-camp, Michelle as City Pony, Allison wanting to talk about her cat in Spanish (I've been there!)all make these the funniest series of dyke detective novels I have ever read. Kate Allen, please, please (I'd bark like a dog!) write more about this fantastic bunch of dykes and their friends.

A marvellous, intelligent, funny, gripping book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Takes One to Know One: An Alison Kaine Mystery (Paperback)
Kate Allen is undoubtedly the best writer of "lesbian" detective stories around. In this book Alison is off-duty at an evolving women's commune (which may evoke some sniggers of recognition, 'cept there's more mud in british ones!) You will long to be camping with Liz and Stacey!She deals with difficult, uncomfortable subjects in an intelligent way and, as such, is a far more effective spokesperson for "The Lesbian Community" than many more "serious" writers
