The Case of the Defunct Adjunct

Professor Molly Barda and her best friend Dr. Emma Nakamura brace themselves for yet another boring faculty retreat at Mahina State University ("Where Your Future Begins Tomorrow"). But when the lecherous Kent Lovely, Mahina State's one-man hostile work environment, collapses face-first into his haupia cheesecake, the event goes from dull to disastrous. Now Molly has to fight to keep an innocent out of prison—and herself off the unemployment line. If you like cozy mysteries with a touch of snark, you'll enjoy this tale of passion, pilferage, and precarious labor in the middle of the Pacific.
