Mother's Day — Frankie Bow

It's the start of the semester, and Professor Molly is dealing with the joys of being department chair: The last-minute scramble to hire adjunct instructors, the confused students caught between payment deadlines and late financial aid checks, and the mountain of paperwork required by the administration's latest half-baked “student success” initiatives. With her round-the-clock morning sickness (along with "helpful" pregnancy advice coming in from every direction), Molly can't wait for the registration rush to be over so she can settle into teaching her classes. But then Mahina State's powerful fundraising office tasks her with a special assignment: she is to serve as the personal tutierge (that's tutor-concierge) to Jeremy Brigham, whose mother happens to be fabulously wealthy and gravely ill. But once inside the Brigham House, Molly realizes something is very wrong. And she has to decide whether to mind her own business and keep her job, or risk everything to prevent a murder.
