If you like historical novels and also enjoy a good murder mystery, then this is a must read! You will be transcended back in time to the days of the pilgrims with lives complicated by far more modern problems. This interesting blend coupled with the author's wonderfully descriptive writing style makes the book come to life. The ending was a real surprise. Suggest that you reread the first chapter at the end to see just how intricately this tale was spun!

It is amazing that one person can save so many animals by just telling about a very dangerous chemical (DDT).

I'm apparently missing something here-- or perhaps if I'd read the earlier books I'd feel more loyal and then be more forgiving. Or I might just be the wrong audience.

In any case, I found _Tracking Time_ tiresome even for airplane reading. I thought the plot was contrived, the characters quite thin (particularly the monsterous parents who were clearly set up to "deserve" the children they got), and I didn't find April Woo particularly compelling as a heroine.

I could see that the writing was fluent, and Glass seems to have a good feel for police procedure, so perhaps it really is just that it hit the wrong notes for my taste. You be the judge.

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.

First time for me on reading anything from Leslie Glass and I'm glad I did. This was great reading material that I could not put down. The suspense was great and I thought the character playing April Woo was fantastic. It had a great plot, especially when I found out that the patient was the missing Dr's own sister! That really blew me away. I can't wait till I can get more of her books and read them!
