Adjunct Stories

Dr. Charles Quist-Adade began his journey into academia by gaining two degrees in Journalism. After noticing that injustices were rife around the world and wanting to learn more about how he could rectify them, Dr. Charles Quist-Adade gained a PhD in Sociology. Since then, he has been educating the world about social injustices and how to remedy them.

Forced to attend the Student Retention Office's summer retreat, Professor Molly brings her game of buzzword bingo to fend off boredom. But when the insufferable Kent Lovely, Mahina State's one-man hostile work environment, collapses face-first into his haupia cheesecake, the afternoon goes from dull to disastrous. Now Molly has to fight to keep an innocent out of prison - and herself off the unemployment line. The Case of the Defunct Adjunct is the spoiler-free prequel to the Molly Barda mysteries, a cozy mystery series set in remote Mahina, Hawaii. If you like Dorothy Parker, Sarah Caudwell, P.G. Wodehouse, or E.F. Benson's Mapp and Lucia stories, you'll enjoy this tale of passion, pilferage, and petty politics.
