chumbuswumbus's review against another edition
I have tried to find this book for YEARS! When I was 12, this book blew my mind. It literally had it all. I’ve been desperately googling to find this book for a year or so now!

In the second book in this series, Wilma is now Goodman's official apprentice and, with Pickle in tow, they're called in to investigate a string of murders on Cooper Island's only stage, The Valliant Vaudeville Theater.
I LOVE that not one, but multiple people are murdered in this story, just like the first. It is true murder and mayhem whenever Wilma's at the theater!
Of course Barbu and Tully and Janty get invoved by buying the theater and planning to milk the murders for as many ticket sales as they can.
Can Wilma and Pickle figure out who -- and what -- is poisoning the thespians? Can they thwart Barbu's evil plan -- again? And more importantly, will the show go on -- even if the actors keep dropping dead like flies?
A wonderful sequel.
