The Musubi Murder

Written by Frankie Bow

Narrated by Nicole Gose

Newly single and far from home, Professor Molly Barda just wants to stay out of trouble until she gets tenure at remote Mahina State University ("Where Your Future Begins Tomorrow!"). But then Jimmy Tanaka, the ruthless founder of the popular Merrie Musubis lunch shop, pledges a huge donation to Molly's college--and promptly disappears. Molly's bottom-line-obsessed dean tasks her with locating Tanaka (and the promised money). As Molly untangles ancient feuds and uncovers old scandals, she starts to fall for Mahina's most eligible bachelor--who happens to be the missing mogul's main competitor.

Frankie Bow

Like Molly Barda, Frankie Bow teaches at a public university. Unlike her protagonist, she is blessed with delightful students, sane colleagues, a loving family, and a perfectly nice office chair. She believes if life isn't fair, at least it can be entertaining. In addition to writing murder mysteries, she publishes in scholarly journals under her real name. Her experience with academic publishing has taught her to take nothing personally. Sign up for news of releases, giveaways, and events at bit.ly/SpamMe.
