The Fever Cabinet

di Frankie Bow (Autore)

Hawaiian Heritage Press, 2019

In this world there are only two tragedies. One is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it. Oscar Wilde Through no fault of her own, Professor Molly just got promoted to department chair at Mahina State University ("Where Your Future Begins Tomorrow") in Mahina, Hawai`i. The Student Retention Office has her buried in paperwork. The college has just relocated to a former asylum, which is undergoing noisy renovations. Molly's dean has directed her to mentor the department's new star, the prickly Fiona Spencer, and to do whatever it takes to keep Fiona happy. At least nothing else can go wrong. And then Fiona finds a body in her office. "Smart, witty, and entertaining throughout, The Fever Cabinet is a wry and irreverent look at the underbelly of academia, with a dead body thrown in for extra fun. Through Bow's colorful writing and authentic characters, we are treated to a look at the "real" Hawai'i—one tourists rarely get to experience—as well as the petty squabbles and power-struggles that erupt when academic egos collide. A terrific read!" Leslie Karst, author of the Sally Solari Mysteries
