Thank heaven for Leslie Glass - By: , 03 Jun 1999 
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 & realistic character of April Woo again & again. Unlike many other mystery series I have tried, the TIME series creates a true fictional world inhabited by believable & 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!
sharp and gripping - By: , 04 Apr 1999 
april woo faces her toughest case yet; a woman battered & her kidnapped child, & the prime suspect is the victim's husband. it's a highly visible case, & to make things even more difficult, april's working with a rookie detective, woody baum. she still has the support of her lover, sgt mike sanchez, but they're no longer working together; he's assigned to the homicide task force. the plot is a little thinner than what i've come to expect from leslie glass; the identity of the child's birth mother was a little too obvious; the suspect list was pretty darned short, & i was a little impatient with april, who's a very competent cop, but she takes this kind of insult from her mom? yeah, we're alll doormats to some extent, but come on! this is a reallly good book compared to lots of others out there, but i've come to expect the very best from leslie glass, & this just isn't her greatest work.
The best in this series. Glass is a born storyteller - By: , 07 Dec 1998 Heather Rose Popescue, a Chinese-American married to Anton, an abusive male, gives away the baby she has passed off as her own. She knows Anton will be furious, but she is determined to do the right thing from now on. That is an understatement as she is beaten into unconsciousness for refusing to have sex with the Popescue who comes into her home.
The case is assigned to Sargent April Woo with extreme pressure to quickly solve the case: discover Heather's attacker & find out the location of the missing baby. However, April soon learns that Heather never gave birth to the missing child & Anton is too clever to leave the marks on her face that the culprit left. April digs deeper even though she has to place her own life on the line to catch the true perpetrator.
STEALING TIME provides readers with a gigantic growth in April's role as a police officer & as a woman. She now heads up the investigation & it is her career that is on the line if she fails to produce the answers. Though he is finallly her lover, Mike Sanchez is no longer her partner. Readers will begin to woo Leslie Glass, who keeps getting better with each new novel. Leslie Glass has the talent to take her to the top of her chosen profession.
