"Combining nerve-wracking suspense and wry humor, A Killing Gift, the latest installment in Leslie Glass' April Woo mystery series (after The Silent Bride), finds the intrepid NYPD detective in pursuit of a serial killer with martial arts expertise... Once again, Glass delivers a unique narrative filled with sharp dialogue, quirky characters and shades of Oriental mysticism. Glass brings the Big Apple and its inhabitants to life as only a native New Yorker could, and Manhattanites - as well as mystery aficionados - may well find Woo to be one of the most compelling heroines to grace the genre in years." - Publisher's Weekly

"Great story line and characterizations. In A Killing Gift, April and Mike have finally gotten their act together and are living together, making plans to buy a house, get married and have a baby. Both are more open about their feelings and that adds another personal dimension to the story line. This is one of the best installments in the series because readers see the police slowly but surely build a case. Leslie Glass writes some of the best procedurals on the market today and her latest will embellish that reputation." - Harriet Klausner
