It's the beginning of December, and Meg is due to give birth to twins any day. And her house is anything but restful. The heat has failed at nearby Caerphilly College where husband Michael teaches, and Meg and Michael are hosting a smattering of drama department students since they can't live in the dorms.

One of these students, Ramon Soto, is days away from putting on a play as part of his doctoral thesis. That is until Dr. Jean Wright and Dr. Enrique Blanco arrive, saying Ramon never got the approval for his thesis. In the midst of the confusion this sets off, one of them is killed. Now a very pregnant Meg is caught between trying to rest while still finding important pieces of the puzzle. Can she solve this mystery before she gives birth?

I've got to admit this wasn't the funniest book in the series, although I did laugh some at the usual antics of Meg's family and friends. However, I did enjoy the book. The mystery kept me confused until the end, and the characters, both returning and new, were great. I especially loved the character of Dr. Wright because she was so much fun to hate. Truly, that was an evil woman.

You'll never go wrong reading a book in this great series, and the latest is no exception. (Credit Mark Baker)
