This box set presents the first five Professor Molly mysteries in the order in which they are meant to be read and enjoyed:
The Musubi Murder: After a brutal year on the academic job market, Professor Molly Barda finally lands a teaching job. In Hawaii!
The Case of the Defunct Adjunct: Follow your dreams, and you’ll never work a day in your life. Because that field’s not hiring.
The Cursed Canoe: Seven women on the crew. Six seats in the canoe. Paddlers would kill to compete in the big race. What could go wrong?
The Black Thumb: It should have been a lovely summer afternoon.
The Invasive Species: It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.
BONUS CONTENT: Alice Mongoose and Alistair Rat in Hawaii
In The Invasive Species, we meet Alice Mongoose and Alistair Rat, protagonists of the classic children’s picture book series. When Alice Mongoose sails from India to a sugar plantation on the Big Island of Hawaii, she is shocked to learn what her new job entails. She decides instead to strike out on her own. When she meets the gentle and dapper Alistair Rat, she knows that she has found a friend in her new Hawaiian home. The Alice Mongoose and Alistair Rat stories are classic tales of adventure, resilience, and friendship, beloved to this day by children of all ages.
Includes the second six Professor Molly mysteries and an exclusive bonus short story with reporter Pat Flanagan and young Harriet Holmes!
Mother’s Day: Professor Molly is not thrilled at having to “tutor” (babysit) a spoiled rich kid. Especially not while she’s battling morning sickness, a meddling mom, and (as always) the Student Retention Office. But once inside the historic 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.
The Nakamura Letters: 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.
The Perfect Body: When Professor Molly attends Mahina State University’s exclusive donor dinner, she doesn’t expect to share a table with the insufferable Stephen Park. Turns out it’s one thing to invite your toxic ex-boyfriend to drop dead…it’s quite another when he takes you up on it.
The Fever Cabinet: Through no fault of her own, Professor Molly just got promoted to department chair. The Student Retention Office has her buried in paperwork. The college has just relocated to a former asylum. Molly’s dean has directed her to appease the department’s new star, the prickly Fiona Spencer. At least nothing else can go wrong. And then Fiona finds a body in her office.
The Influencer: There’s no such thing as bad publicity. Until it happens to you.
EXCLUSVE BONUS CONTENT: Death at the Effigy
It’s 1984. Young Pat Flanagan gets his first reporting job at San Diego’s second-coolest ‘zine, Voltaire’s Quill. But when Pat covers the opening night of a trendy new club, he witnesses a freak “accident” and has to choose: keep his eccentric editor Harriet and her advertisers happy, or find out the truth?
