Stork Raving Mad
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!
