All Professor Molly wanted to do was teach literature. Instead she's been named department chair. She's buried in Student Retention paperwork. She has to mentor the department's new star, the prickly Fiona Spencer. The college has just relocated to a former asylum, and the air conditioning is broken. At least nothing else can go wrong.Until Fiona finds a body in her office.Smart, witty, and entertaining throughout, The Fever Cabinet is a wry and irreverent look at the underbelly of academia, with a dead body thrown in for extra fun. Through Bow's colorful writing and authentic characters, we are treated to a look at the "real" Hawai'i-one tourists rarely get to experience-as well as the petty squabbles and power-struggles that erupt when academic egos collide. A terrific read!- Leslie Karst, author of the Sally Solari Mysteries
"Our guest of honor, Jimmy Tanaka, may have been "The Most Hated Man in Hawaii," but the College of Commerce was in no position to be picky. Not after the latest round of budget cuts. After a brutal year on the academic job market, Professor Molly Barda has finally landed a job at Mahina State University in Mahina, Hawaii ("Where Your Future Begins Tomorrow"). All she wants to do is keep her head down and stay out of trouble until she gets tenure. But then the wealthy and widely-hated Jimmy Tanaka, founder of Merrie Musubis lunch shop, pledges a huge donation to Molly's college and promptly disappears. Molly's bottom-line-obsessed dean, knowing that Molly is in no position to refuse, orders her to track down the missing mogul. As Molly uncovers Mahina's secrets, she starts to fall for Tanaka's competitor...who may have a skeleton or two in his own closet."--
Mahina State's powerful fundraising office tasks Professor Molly with a special assignment: To serve as the personal tutierge (that's tutor-concierge) to Jeremy Brigham, whose mother happens to be fabulously wealthy and gravely ill. Molly is not thrilled at having to babysit a spoiled slacker.But once inside the Brigham House, Molly realizes something is very wrong. And she has to decide whether to mind her own business and keep her job, or risk everything to prevent a murder.
Professor Emma Nakamura doesn't believe in ghosts. So it doesn't bother her (much) when she learns of a long-ago suicide in her remote upcountry rental house. She's sure there's a logical explanation for the disappearing items and the strange sounds in the night.Fortunately (?), Emma's best friend Molly has news shocking enough to take Emma's mind off the hauntings. Now Emma and Molly have to rely on their strong reasoning skills and a weak internet connection to figure out how a body ended up in Molly's backyard.The Nakamura Letters is an island-style take on the Golden Age mysteries of Mary Roberts Rinehart and Agatha Christie.
Professor Molly Barda investigates a mysterious paddling accident, and realizes it isn't just business majors who cheat to get what they want. Whether it's moving up in the college rankings, getting a seat in the big canoe race, or just looking out for themselves, some people will do whatever it takes-including murder. If you like Dorothy Parker, Sarah Caudwell, P.G. Wodehouse, or E.F. Benson's Mapp and Lucia stories, or are in the mood for a murder in Hawaii, you'll enjoy this tale of passion, pilferage, and petty politics in the middle of the Pacific.
