5.0 out of 5 stars
Thank heaven for Leslie Glass,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stealing Time (April Woo Suspense Novels) (Hardcover)
By far the best in this compelling series, STEALING TIME is a gripping read. I am constantly shocked by Glass's masterful ability to bring her reader inside the complex and realistic character of April Woo again and again. Unlike many other mystery series I have tried, the TIME series creates a true fictional world inhabited by believable and engaging characters; it remains the only modern mystery series that captivates my attention. STEALING TIME is a gem. Cheers, Ms. Glass! Keep up the good work!

lst rate,
By A Customer
This review is from: Stealing Time (April Woo Suspense Novels) (Paperback)
Once again Leslie Glass has produced a fast paced lst rate mystery centered upon a heroine, Dectective Woo, of complexity -- a modern professional woman who struggles to preserve loyalty to her family yet separate psychologically from family myths and outdated cultural expectations which distress her.The reader is provided a double treat: the opportunity to track down the "bad guys" while enjoying this heroine's psychological growth.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A nice page turner,
This review is from: Stealing Time (April Woo Suspense Novels) (Paperback)
I recommend this book to any mystery buff who enjoys a plot of medium complexity, some interesting characters, and a touch of humor. The book is one of a series featuring NYPD detective April Woo, who is not anyone's idea of a stereotypical Chinese-American female. She, however, must deal with multicultural pressures including her own zany mother who's prescription for any medical ailment is "dragon bones and sour herbs". The mystery involves a missing child and a beaten mother and brings April back to her old haunts in New York's Chinatown where the reader is introduced to a number of sinister characters. There is no gratuitous violence; there is not a long list of suspects or crimes. I had one disappointment with the plot. The book devotes much time in building up the reader's compassion for one of the characters only to have the character killed off; I would have liked a happier ending. But it held my attention and I look forward to more in the series.
