Mahina State University is where, according to the local radio and TV spots, “Your Future Begins Tomorrow.”
It is also where The Musubi Murder takes place.
The new official school colors (as decided by student vote) are red, gold and green, but the classic “happy moon” design remains a local favorite, and a bestseller in the Mahina State University bookstore.
…and that’s not even the strangest question, just the first one.

“Sorry, Miss Pfaff, I didn’t mean to gush. But I do love Alice Mongoose!”
“It’s true,” Emma said. “Molly’s a huge fangirl. She wore her Alice the Mongoose t-shirt till it got all full of pukas, and now she sleeps in it.”
“It’s Alice Mongoose, Emma, not Alice the Mongoose. It’s not Peter the Rabbit, right?”
Marshall murmured something and steered Miss Dorothy Pfaff away from us and toward a canapé-bearing waiter.
With her hatbox and steamer trunk all packed and her employment letter in hand, Alice Mongoose was looking forward to her first grownup job on a Hamakua sugar plantation. Imagine her shock when she learned that her job was to kill rats!
Alice was not a killer. She knew that this was not the job for her. She disembarked and, carrying her hatbox and dragging her steamer trunk, went to look for a place to stay.
The first friendly creature she met was Alistair Rat. Fortunately, Alistair was nearsighted and too vain to wear spectacles, so he did not realize that Alice was a mongoose. Rather than run away in terror, Alistair invited Alice in for tea.
Alice Mongoose and Alistair Rat became neighbors and best friends, and had adventures together on the Hamakua Coast of the Big Island of Hawaii.
The Musubi Murder hardcover edition is available for preorder on Amazon right now. Fortunately(?) the market intelligence is already accumulating.
Frankie Bow’s first novel, THE MUSUBI MURDER , is available at Audible.com, Amazon.com, andiTunes.

“Mrs. Emmeline Lucas (Lucia to her friends) is the recently-widowed newcomer to the village of Tilling, eager to wrest the reins of social supremacy from the incumbent Miss Elizabeth Mapp and to install herself as its benevolent dictator. In their polite acts of sabotage, as they ruthlessly jockey for the position of cultural arbiter, Mapp and Lucia tear up the conventions of drawing-room diplomacy and enter a protracted conflict using fêtes, garden parties, musical soirées, and bridge evenings as their deadly weapons.” (From the publisher).
This volume contains five Mapp and Lucia novels.
Sarah Caudwell is “Without doubt, one of the funniest crime writers – ever!” — Mike Ripley, author of author of the award-winning ‘Angel’ comedy thrillers.
The latest in the Agatha Raisin series. I admit, it took me about halfway through “The Quiche of Death” before I warmed up to the prickly Agatha, but after that I was hooked.
The Deluxe Edition includes a 20-second experiment that allows the reader to measure the speed of light using any kitchen microwave!
