ALOHA SUZI & CONGRATULATIONS!  YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN. READ "WOMAN AT THE GARAGE SALE" YESTERDAY. AND BEING A MYSTERY STORY READER FOR 60 YEARS I CAN AFFIRM WHAT YOUR EDITORS HAVE TOLD YOU. YOUR STORIES HAVE GOTTEN BETTER WITH EACH BOOK. CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, TWISTS, DESCRIPTIONS, ENDING, JUST FOR STARTERS. AND REMEMBER, 'OLD AUTHORS NEVER DIE, THEY JUST LOSE THEIR AGENTS'. WITH ALOHA FROM HAWAII, ROBERT

GARAGE SALE DIAMONDS WEAVES AN INTERESTING, FAST-PACED, VERY READABLE STORY WHILE PROVIDING WELL RESEARCHED INFORMATION ABOUT A HOST OF PRACTICAL AND THOUGHT PROVOKING MATTERS. THIS STORY BEGINS WITH EVENTS THAT EFFECTIVELY CREATE, AND SHAPE THE IDEOLOGY OF , A TERRORIST. THIS PART OF THE PLOT WAS PARTICULARLY WELL RESEARCHED, INTERESTING AND RELEVANT TO CURRENT EVENTS. I HAVE LIVED IN THE MIDDLE EAST FOR 10 YEARS. THE REPRESENTATIONS IN THE STORY ARE NOT ONLY REALISTIC BUT EDUCATIONAL EVEN FOR THE FAIRLY WELL EDUCATED. I WOULD DEFINITELY SUGGEST THIS AS A BOOK GROUP READ AS THERE IS MUCH TO DISCUSS (THE AUTHOR HAS A SET OF QUESTIONS AT THE END OF THE BOOK AS SUGGESTIONS). NOTE: THIS BOOK IS THE SECOND IN A SERIES. IT IS HELPFUL, BUT NOT ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, TO READ GARAGE SALE STALKER BEFORE READING THIS ONE. - CHRISTINE SCHEFFER

ANY TIME YOU READ ONE OF SUZI WEINERT'S NOVELS, YOU KNOW YOUR GOING TO LEARN SOMETHING. IN FACT, YOU'RE GOING TO LEARN A LOT. SHE SEAMLESSLY WEAVES INTO HER THRILLING STORIES FACTS AND SCENARIOS ABOUT ELEMENTS OF TODAYS CULTURE. NOT ONLY HAVE I LEARNED HOW TO HOLD A SUCCESSFUL GARAGE OR ESTATE SALE, I NOW KNOW MUCH MORE ABOUT THE CIVIL WAR. I ALSO LEARNED MORE THAN I'D CARE TO KNOW ABOUT THE MANY WAYS ELDERS ARE SUBJECT TO ABUSE. BUT SUZI, AS USUAL, MAKES SURE HER CHARACTERS LEARN HOW TO PROTECT THEMSELVES. AND DRAGONS. YES, LET'S NOT FORGET DRAGONS. - CAROLE J. GREEN

I HAVE JUST FINISHED READING YOUR BOOK THIS AFTERNOON, HAVING BURNED THE MIDNIGHT OIL ON IT EARLIER THIS WEEK. I FOUND IT TIGHTLY WRITTEN, CHARACTERS WELL DEVELOPED AND UNDERSTANDABLE, AND A RIVETING STORY THAT NEVER LET ME GO. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE MATTER OF CHILD ABUSE TO THE FOREFRONT AND THE POSSIBILITY OF REDEEMING LOVE CHANGING ABUSE’S EFFECTS. MORE POWER TO YOU AND OTHERS WHOSE USE OF PLOT AND WORDS BRIGHTEN AND ENRICH OUR LIVES. - GEORGIANNE CEDARBLADE

 YOUR BOOK IS TERRIFIC. I READ THE FIRST HUNDRED PAGES IN BED AND I COULDN’T STOP UNTIL THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING. I SPENT THE NEXT DAY FINISHING IT. THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS FOR THOSE THAT PROVIDED THE EXPERTISE ANSWERED MANY OF MY QUESTIONS; THE BOOK MATERIAL WAS SO AUTHENTIC AND SO WELL STRUCTURED. IT’S YOU THE AUTHOR, HOWEVER, WHO MADE THIS MANUSCRIPT COME ALIVE. I BET JENNIFER HAS A PLAN ALREADY. - MARY ANN MORRISON  

I LOVED YOUR “GARAGE SALE STALKER”. I CAN’T BELIEVE IT WAS YOUR FIRST BOOK. THE STORY WAS SO WELL DEVELOPED AND THE MAIN CHARACTER WAS A GAL AFTER MY OWN HEART. I WAS A GARAGE SALE JUNKIE ALSO. WHEN I WAS YOUNG WITH FOUR CHILDREN, IT WAS MY ESCAPE ON SATURDAY MORNINGS. – LYNNE HOEPFL  CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR FIRST BOOK! I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THE SUSPENSE AND LOVED THE FAMILIARITY WITH NORTHERN VIRGINIA. I TOLD THE OWNER OF KAZAN THAT HIS RESTAURANT WAS MENTIONED IN YOUR BOOK. I LIKED THE WAY YOU PICKED UP ALL THE LOSE ENDS AND WEAVED IT INTO A GREAT, FEEL-GOOD ENDING. WHAT IMAGINATION YOU HAVE! MY VERY BEST WISHES FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUCCESS. – PEGGY WARD 

I LOVED YOUR BOOK. PLEASE KEEP WRITING! YOUR STORY KEPT ME INTERESTED TO THE END. I ALSO LIKED THE BOOK DISCUSSION QUESTIONS IN THE BACK. I AM AN AVID GARAGE SALER AND THRIFT STORE ATTENDEE AND VERY MUCH RELATED TO JENNIFER. I ADMIRE HER INTELLIGENCE IN HANDLING THE IMPRISONMENT!!!! I LIKE THE WAY YOU INCORPORATED STATISTICS OF ABUSE IN YOUR BOOK TO INCREASE AWARENESS. I AM A SOCIAL WORKER AND SOON WILL BE VOLUNTEERING WITH ABUSED WOMEN AND CHILDREN AT A SHELTER. I WILL RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO OTHERS. I ALSO LIKE THE WAY YOU MAKE JENNIFER A LIKEABLE CHARACTER WHO I FEEL I COULD BE GOOD FRIENDS WITH. I HOPE SHE CONTINUES TO LIVE IN YOUR BOOKS. VERY GOOD JOB!!! – BARB MAHER   

I ENJOYED HEARING YOU SPEAK ABOUT YOUR BOOK AT THE “DEATH & DESSERT” PUT ON BY THE BONITA SPRINGS, FL LIBRARY LAST SEASON. I RECENTLY HAD FOOT RECONSTRUCTION SURGERY AND WAS CONFINED TO THE CHAIR AND SOFA WITH MY FOOT UP IN THE AIR. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I READ MANY BOOKS. I READ YOURS, THINKING IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE LIGHTER FARE THAN WHAT I USUALLY LIKE. I FOUND YOUR BOOK TO BE A VERY SERIOUS WORK AND QUITE A DELIGHTFUL READ. I ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF JENNIFER’S FAMILY AND PERILS. I THOUGHT I MUST WRITE YOU AND WAS HAPPY TO FIND YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS AT THE END. DON’T LET THIS BE YOUR ONLY BOOK. YOU HAVE BIG TALENT. – JUDY COREY  

I LIVE IN THE MCLEAN, VA AREA AND TORE THROUGH THE PAGES OF YOUR BOOK AS I SAT IN MY ROCKING CHAIR – HALF EXPECTING TO HEAR THE SOUND OF EMERGENCY VEHICLE SIRENS RESCUING SOME POOR SOUL IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR THE NEXT BOOK. GOOD JOB AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. – DAVE THOMAS
 
 I WAS FIRST DRAWN TO THIS BOOK BY THE TITLE AND COVER. MY TWO FAVOURITE THINGS ARE GARAGE SALES AND STALKERS (THOUGH NOT NECESSARILY TOGETHER!) I LOVE TRAWLING ROUND CAR BOOT SALES AND GARAGE SALES IN THE HOPE OF A GOOD BARGAIN OR TWO, I ALSO LOVE READING ABOUT STALKERS ~ THOUGH WOULDN'T LIKE MY OWN PERSONAL ONE!I FELT THIS BOOK WAS REALLY TWO BOOKS IN ONE. WHEN I FIRST STARTED READING IT, IT FELT LIKE I WAS READING A CALM, UNEVENTFUL AND RELAXING READ ~ HOW WRONG I WAS! THE BOOK SUDDENLY TURNED INTO A BREAKNECK SPEED THRILLER WHICH IN PLACES HAD ME CURLED UP AND WINCING AT CERTAIN OCCURRENCES. THEN AGAIN AT THE END IT BECAME A MORE GENTLE READ AND CALMED MY NERVES DOWN, SLIGHTLY!THE ONLY THING THAT FRUSTRATED ME A BIT WAS THAT MANY OF THE WORDS BEGINNING WITH THE LETTERS "TH" WERE MISSING OR REPLACED WITH EITHER A SQUARE BOX OR OTHER SYMBOL. I EVEN CAME ACROSS A FEW TIGER SMILIES (WHICH WERE RATHER CUTE). I HAD TO REALLY THINK WHAT WORDS I SHOULD BE READING BUT AFTER A WHILE MY MIND ADJUSTED AND IT BECAME ALMOST SECOND NATURE TO REALISE WHAT I WAS READING.A GREAT BOOK DESPITE THESE ODD OCCURRENCES AND I REALLY HOPE TO READ THE FOLLOW ON BOOK "GARAGE SALE DIAMONDS" VERY SOON TOO. I'M ALSO REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THE HALLMARK MOVIE "GARAGE SALE MYSTERY" WHICH IS BASED ON THE BOOK.MANY THANKS TO THE AUTHOR AND PUBLISHER AT NET GALLEY FOR LETTING ME READ THIS IN EXCHANGE FOR A FAIR AND HONEST REVIEW. - SOPHIE HARRIS
