(About "Easy as Pie" by Dennis Moore, East County Magazine, San Diego) "I strongly recommend this novel to all those that like a good mystery, sprinkled with danger and intrigue."
(About "Easy as Pie") Ms. Wingate craft[s] a... solid mystery, with violent and wooden villains carrying the reader a few steps ahead of our protagonist throughout the story—a device perfected in Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. Ms. Wingate is clearly a storyteller... - Naomi Reiter (Book Reviewer)
Her story-telling voice is so engaging. - Michael Collins (author of "Lost Souls" and "Keepers of Truth")
The narrator's voice is very genuine and compelling. - Phyllis Schieber (author of “The Sinner's Guide to Confession”)
Wingate shows an understanding of human nature well beyond what is normally seen in a novel. She has a mastery of dialogue that I find refreshing--I felt as though I was right there, listening. It isn't often I find dialogue so true-to-life. Between her mastery of dialogue and understanding of human nature, Susan Wingate held me captive with this book. - Joyce Anthony (author of “Storm”)
A breathtaking story that will fill you with joy and laughter, Bobby's Diner is a great read for any book lover. - Coffee Time Romance
