5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent installment in this great series, October 2, 2000

By

(#1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Tracking Time: An April Woo Novel (April Woo Suspense Novels) (Hardcover)

Psychiatrist Dr. Maslow Atkins uses running in Central Park just before twilight to relieve some of his stress. One particular day, a patient, Allegra meets Maslow at the entrance to the park. He reminds her that he will see her in his office tomorrow. However, the next day Maslow fails to show up for an appointment with his mentor Dr. Jason Frank, who calls his friend Lieutenant April Woo to see what happened to Maslow.

April conducts a search even employing a K9 team but all she learns is that a wino witnessed two people attack a third person that might be Maslow. April meets Allegra at the doctor's office, but has no grounds to detain the woman who they find out later is Maslow's half-sister. Allegra is the next one to vanish. April believes two teens associated with both victims have something to do with the incidents, but no one can find them either.

With each new work, the April Woo tales seem to get better which is no mean feat since the quality has always been sky high. April continues to mature, as she becomes stronger due to her new experiences. Her newfound independence begins to separate her from a dependence on her Chinese relatives and the rest of the Chinese community. Leslie Glass uses her beguiling heroine to provide a humanized police investigation that turns TRACKING TIME into a wonderful treat for anyone who enjoys a great story starring a strong individual with a touch of romance to add flavoring to a tasty stew.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best In The Series, November 13, 2000

By

Dorothy O'Hare (New York, New York USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tracking Time: An April Woo Novel (April Woo Suspense Novels) (Hardcover)

Tracking Time, the most recent book in this series that features Detective Sergeant April Woo suceeds not only as a thrilling suspense novel but a disturbing look at today's society. April takes on the whole department as she searches for missing psychoanalytic student Maslow Atkins and uncovers shocking family secrets and teen violence right out of today's headlines.

Tracking Time is well-plotted with the added dimension and depth of well sketched characters and relationships that keeps you turning the page.

5.0 out of 5 stars ANOTHER EXCITING ENTRY IN THIS GREAT SERIES, October 11, 2000

This review is from: Tracking Time: An April Woo Novel (April Woo Suspense Novels) (Hardcover)

When Dr. Maslow Atkins, a young New York psychiatrist, goes for his jog in Central Park and does not come out, an immediate investigation is prompted...

Leading the investigation is detective sergeant April Woo.

After being urged by friend Jason Frank, to look into the psychiatrist's disappearance, April will dive into every aspect of Maslow's life, as well as his patient's...including a young girl who likes to cut herself and harbors a dark secret.

Even when the entire police force puts pressure to close the case, April, will proceed to look for the missing doctor and solve the case.

"Tracking Time" is another great entry in an already excellent series. April Woo is the toughest, smartest and most genuine of all characters in suspense fiction, and Leslie Glass continues to turn out fresh, suspensful plots with each new novel she writes.

Any fan of suspensful, police procedurals should look to the April Woo series for a great read.
