The Desk---A MUST read...

I must commend the talents of Jonna Turner!!!! I just completed THE DESK and found myself unable to put it down. I liked it so much that I had to purchase her next book, NEW PICTURES OF AN OLD MURDER, right away and can't wait to start reading it. The Desk is an easy read and goes at a fast pace from start to the edge-of-your-seat end!!!! A+++
A Touch of Memphis

I very much enjoyed this book I think in part because of the setting in Memphis. The Memphis backdrop really made the book come to life for me having lived in Memphis for years. The storyline of the desk actually being the catalist to set the story in motion was very interesting. It was a book I read from start to finish in one sitting, not just because it was less than 200 pages, but because it was intriguing and I had to find out how it ended.It's a great book to sit down on a rainy Sunday afternoon and enjoy.
Review of The Desk
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
If you are tired of books based on sex and violence the this the the book for you. It is one of the first works of a new, up and coming author, Jonna Turner. The Desk is a murder mystery with a supernatural twist. Ms.Turner was raised in Memphis, Tenn and the book centers there. It is a pleasure to read something that does not offend the senses and yet holds your attention. With the ending she gave us we will be looking forward to the next work by her.

Wow! It is a Great book, it keeps you guessing all the way. Very hard to put down. And I dont have time to read. They should put it on Books on tape. I'd read it again and I'll tell all my reading, FRIENDS to read it, as well. I can't wait to read her other books. It's right up there with Mauve Binchy, Glass Lake.
