About the Book:
Small town life,
big academic egos, corruption, revenge, and Spam musubis! The Musubi Murder is
the first campus crime novel set in Hawaii, and the perfect read for mystery
lovers, Hawaii expatriates, disillusioned academics, and anyone who fancies
Spam (the meat).
Professor Molly
Barda is a born and bred big city girl. But thanks to the academic job market,
she finds herself at remote Mahina State University, using her top-ten
literature PhD. to teach resume-writing to business majors. Molly just wants
to keep her head down and stay out of trouble until she gets
tenure, so naturally she ends up getting dragged into the middle of a
grisly murder case.
A brief Interview with the Author:

What I love about this book: The
Molly Barda mysteries (this is the first in a series) are exactly
Who are the bad guys? In The Musubi
Murder, as in life, no one thinks of themselves as the bad guy. Everyone is the
hero of their own story.
For example Molly's
bottom-line-focused dean refuses to antagonize the "customers" (aka
tuition-paying students) so Molly is forced to give two plagiarizing students a
penalty-free do-over. Naturally this makes the other students cry foul and
blame Molly for playing favorites. The dean thinks he is looking out for the
financial health of the college; Molly thinks he is undermining her teaching
and destroying the value of a Mahina State University education. Neither one is
entirely wrong.
What I hope readers will tell others
when they're done: That the book made them burst out laughing, preferably loudly
and in a public venue.
