Summary: Disappointing
Review: This is my least favorite of all Leslie Glass's books. There wasn't as much interaction between April and her mother or April and Mike which I enjoyed. I didn't think there was much mystery to it!

Summary: Engrossing novel of psychological suspense.
Review: This is the first novel that I have read by Leslie Glass. "Tracking Time" explores the lives of the rich and selfish. Two teenagers named David and Brandy have parents from hell. Their parents are too wealthy and self-absorbed to know what is going on in their kids' lives. Brandy and David are twisted and bitter youngsters who embark on a campaign of violence and terror for the sake of a few thrills. The protagonist, Detective April Woo, is investigating the disappearance of psychiatrist Maslow Atkins and she senses that Brandy and David are somehow involved. There is little suspense here, since Glass lets us know up front who did what to whom. April has little to do in the way of investigating. The novel's best moments come from the analysis of the protagonists' lives. We learn about April's tortured relationship with her mother, whom she calls (disrespectfully) "Skinny Dragon," and with her good-looking lover, Mike Sanchez, who loves April but has a roving eye. The most wicked and enjoyable writing is reserved for the parents in the book and the two teens, who are all spoiled and nasty people. Glass is sarcastic and funny in the way that she dissects these warped individuals. The novel is well-paced and the dialogue is crisp and often amusing. "Tracking Time" is entertaining and I recommend it for fans of psychological suspense.

Summary: Movie Potential
Review: This was an exciting story. We learn of the the missing Dr Atkins from the very first sentence. There is a race against time to solve the mystery of the missing Doc. The paradoxical Sargeant April Woo continues to fascinate me. She is portrayed as smart, mentally and physically tough yet vulnerable and docile with her Mom Skinny Dragon. There was not much emphasis on Woo's romance in this book just a bit of lovers' conflict to keep the spark of romance interesting. Dr Frank is another paradoxical character. He is the psychiatrist that is obsessed with clocks and tracking time. The parent/child relationship and the confusion of adolescence were major themes . The question that this book seems to leave you with is, Do you know where your child is?
