Meg's expecting twins---any minute!---in this next hilarious entry in the award-winning, New York Times bestselling series!

Meg is eight and a half months pregnant with twins when Michael asks if she wouldn't mind another houseguest. One of his doctoral students is directing his new translation of a play by a minor Spanish playwright, and the playwright has agreed to come to town for the production.

Senor Mendoza turns out to be a drinker, a smoker, and an inveterate partygoer. Before long, Meg's kitchen is filled with the smells of Spanish food and the voices of all the wilder souls in both the drama and Spanish departments. Into this chaos arrive two prune-faced administrators, the dean of the English department and a man from the college president's office, who say that the play must be canceled.

When the dean is found murdered, Meg's house becomes a crime scene, and the only way to restore peace is to help Chief Burke solve the murders---while rescuing the student's dissertation and Michael's tenure---all before dashing off to the hospital to give birth to her twins!

The one and only Donna Andrews continues to surprise and delight in this next knee-slapping adventure featuring Meg Langslow and all the eccentric characters that make up her world.

Meg is pregnant with twins ready to be born any minute and, as usual, her life is enveloped in chaos. The college’s heat has been broken for weeks and the whole town, including Meg’s house, is filled to the brim with displaced students camped out in almost every room. As if that wasn’t enough, one of Michael’s students is putting on a play and has invited the Spanish playwright to attend and now he has shown up as yet another houseguest.  When the Dean of the English department decides to cancel the play and disapprove of the student’s dissertation she and a colleague arrive to meet with Michael about the dissertation and, well, she ends up dead.

The action is quick in this one, taking place all in one day. We have romantic triangles, murder, blackmail and multiple suspects all rolling along to a dramatic conclusion before Meg rushes off to the hospital to deliver her twins.

I love this series, I’m so glad I decided to revisit it from the beginning as well as keeping up with the most current entries.  Highly recommended. ~~ Stephanie L Bannon
