Very New York, thrilling, exciting, versatile

A very informative and accurate description of the mixture that characterizes New York City. The author takes time to describe the different ethnicities, not always as accurate as we would like for them to be, but better than most. the story is well thought, and with lots of in and outs. In my opinion, it is what a book is supposed to be, entertaining, somewhat educational, and suspenseful. Thanks

Great police procedural and a fantastic series

Chinese-American police officer April Woo is assigned to investigate a double murder that occurred near the Liberty restaurant. Also assigned to the case is her boyfriend Detective Mike Sanchez. The chief suspect is a former football star, Rick Liberty, whose spouse Merrill and his best friend Tor Peterson are the victims. The evidence proves that the motive, opportunity, and means were all available to Rick. This makes everyone in the police department and the media believe that Rick did the crime during a jealous rage. That is everyone except April, who has to overcome her own peers and boss, the medical examiner's office, and her personal distrust of Mike to prove that the former football star is innocent. However, if Rick did not do it, the culprit had the opportunity to set it up so it seemed as if he did. The novel is a great mystery that provides interesting insight into the Chinese-American culture and , to a lesser degree, the Hispanic-American culture. Fans of this series will especially enjoy JUDGING TIME because it is clearly the best novel to date. The relationship (and often times non-relationship) between the protagonists has taken quantum leaps forward that will elate the reader. Leslie Glass, a superstar in the making, continues to climb the ladder towards the top run of the ethnic-mystery novels. Harriet Klausner
