Description: Meg Langslow is pregnant with twins when Michael asks if she wouldn't mind having a houseguest. One of his doctoral students is directing his new translation of a play by a minor Spanish playwright, who has agreed to come to town for the production. Surely they can spare some room for such an important academic cause?

Señor Mendoza turns out to be a partygoer who loves to spend raucous evenings among adoring students...at Casa Langslow. Into this chaos arrives the dean of the English department, who insists the play be canceled.

Then the unthinkable happens: the dean is found murdered, and Meg's house has become a crime scene. Now it's up to Meg to help Chief Burke solve the murders, rescue the student's dissertation, make sure Michael doesn't lose tenure, and, while she's at it, give birth to twins. Encore! Encore!

My Thoughts: Things are busy for Meg Langslow in this 12th book in the series. Because the heating plant isn't operational at the college, she and her husband Michael are hosting a bunch of drama students as they prepare for their latest production and a clutch of computer students have taken over the basement. In addition, Michael asks Meg to host the Spanish playwright of the upcoming production.

The chairman of the English department comes to tell them all that the play must be cancelled because the graduate student who is producing it didn't ask for permission. She and her minion from Administrative Services have done nothing but throw roadblocks into the paths of all drama students and are vehemently opposed to the formation of a separate Drama department. 

When the body of the English Department Chair is found in Meg and Michael's library, Chief Burke and his department all descend on the house to try to solve the case. However, Deputy Sammy is distracted by the recent hit-and-run accident his dog suffered and wants to track down the driver. 

It soon becomes apparent that many people had reasons to want the professor dead and most of them are currently in residence at Meg and Michael's. Meg who is eight-and-a-half-months pregnant finds herself overhearing all sorts of things she wants to share with the Chief while on the way to the bathroom or trying to get upstairs to take a nap. 

This was another fun entry into this engaging humorous mystery series. I enjoyed the narration. I really like Meg and the assorted characters who surround her.
