Summary: Plenty of Suspects in "Dead at the Desk"
Review: Being a senior citizen this book takes me back to the days when my husband attended a small Missouri college on the GI Bill. We lived on campus in veterans housing and were friends with many of our neighbors who were also students.
Although the cramming for finals was not done in dorm rooms but in small quonset huts, which served as our home, I could relate to the late nights and the thrill as graduation day drew near.
I especially enjoyed how the story developed. It kept me wondering if I had correctly picked out the "killer". In fact, I could hardly put the book down trying to decide if I was correct. The small town Loren visited with his girlfriend could have been the same small town where I grew up. It conjured up wonderful memories of my young years. Thank you Lawrence for bringing back some images I had long forgotten.
For entertainment with suspense and a "keep you guessing" element, this is the book for you to read. I highly recommend it.

Summary: It was deja vu all over again!
Review: I don't like murder mysteries, so when a friend recommended Schulenberg's debut novel, Dead at the Desk, I was somewhat reluctant to buy it. I am really glad I did, though. Anyone over 50 and anyone from a small town will instantly relate to the characters and the situations. Anyone who attended a small college will feel right at home. Schulenberg's style is witty and fast-paced. His character and scene development is precise. As I approached the end of the book, I found myself slowing down, because although I did want to know how the mystery would be solved I didn't want the book to end. I'll buy anything else this author writes. I want to see how his characters will evolve in his next book.

Summary: A quick read! Didn't want to put it down.
Review: Mr. Schulenberg's "Dead at the Desk" is a quick and entertaining read. For a murder mystery, there are the obvious suspects that are targeted but the plot's twists and turns which lead to the true murderer and the reasoning behind the murder was fantastic. I was floored! Since I am from Kansas, Mr. Schulenberg's familiarity with Kansas and Missouri facts added an extra bonus to my reading enjoyment. I found myself thinking of these characters and this school during the times when I wasn't reading the book. I highly recommend "Dead at the Desk".

Summary: Looking for a good read?
Review: This book is awesome. The book kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting to get to the next page. The characters are not only believable, I could picture the storyline as I read the page. I reccommend this book to any reader and don't think that there will be a person out there that doesn't like it. I can't wait for his next work to be published.

Summary: YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PUT IT DOWN!
Review: This book is one of the most "I can't put it down" books I've read. There are several story lines and it flows extremely well. Just when I thought I had figured out the mystery, there'd be a turn in events. Those who grew up in small town America will definitely appreciate the hometown feel. I look forward to passing my book along to others that look foward to reading it as much as I did!
