Summary: I accidentally read this book twice...
Comment: because I forgot that I already read it. This copy was printed in 2000 so I had to have read it within the last 4 years, but I couldn't remember a thing. I got half way through it the second time before I came across something that I recognized. The memorable piece for me was such a minor plot point, I finished the book again anyway because I still couldn't remember how it ended. It was okay while I was reading it (good enough to read twice), but it obviously didn't stick to my ribs the first time.
Rating: 5
Summary: Nothing lacking in this mystery novel!
Comment: I really liked this mystery! April Woo is a wonderful heroine...complex, victimized by a mother who just happens to be Chinese (but sounds a lot like many mothers I have known), and fighting her insecurities just like the rest of us. The New York background is well drawn, and the plot is crafted intricately and maintains suspense. Leslie Glass is a writer who crafts her prose well, too. "Stealing Time" is one good book.
Rating: 3
Summary: Solid Lead Character In a So-So Crime Mystery
Comment: NYPD detective April Woo is assigned a disturbing case. A Chinese-American mother is beaten senseless and her newborn infant is kidnapped. What first appears to be an open and shut domestic crime turns out to be something more sinister. April's budding career is on thin ice as she is forced to expose big city names that are linked with the heinous act.
April Woo is a strongly written character. She is bright and ambitious yet she also struggles with insecurities. She was reared in two cultures and must deal with the clashing of such. Certainly she is not the super heroine described in other bestsellers. This quality gives April a realism most professional women can relate to.
As for the plot itself, it was somewhat lacking. The pace was slow, the action was limited, and no big surprises jumped out at the reader. If you're an April Woo fan you are sure to enjoy it. If you pick the book up at the library or borrow it from a friend, then give it a whirl. Otherwise you may want to keep your money in your pocketbook.
