Andrew Tillet, Sara Wiggins & Inspector Wyatt #7
The Case of the Murdered Players
Someone is targeting the best actresses in London, and the only way to keep Verna Tillet safe is to keep her off the stage until Andrew Tillet, Sara Wiggins, and Inspector Peter Wyatt can find out who the deadly killer is.
But Andrew’s mother isn’t going to like being kept in the dark, and with a mysterious criminal mastermind set to take over London’s sordid underworld, Wyatt has his hands full already. For extra help, the intrepid sleuths turn to their friend Baron Beasley, a gentle giant of a man whose job as an antiquities dealer provides plenty of opportunities to meet people from every level of London society—including a colorful reformed safecracker. They’ll all have to work together to solve the case before time runs out . . . and the killer turns his attention to Verna.

I like the image on the back cover of the man with his ear pressed to a safe and holding a candle. Gets you in the mood for a mystery.
I thought it was cute that both Andrew and Sara felt shy when they hadn't seen each other for a while, and that he thought she looked prettier than ever in her new dress.
I found it the height of ridiculousness that Wyatt, a London Metropolitan Policeman, was asking for the help of a kid. When he said to meet Andrew and Sara and for him to tell no one else I was just rolling my eyes. Imagine law enforcement recruiting children to help them solve their cases. Doesn't inspire much respect in their capabilities. I know we have to withhold disbelief because this is what the series is about but it's hard to enjoy something that's so unrealistic it's foolish. Especially when Sara told Sergeant Tucker he wouldn't have solved half the cases he has if it wasn't for them. What a joke!
I did like that he said they're the troublesome two and they give trouble to the bad guys too, which I assumed yobbos meant.
It was beyond irritating that Sara and Andrew just immediately knew so much and could put together the reason for something happening that quick. Wyatt told them about the three murders and there's more important things to discuss than how they were murdered, Sara immediately came out with all were actresses in the same area around the Strand. How quick of her. Before they had even gotten to his reasoning, Sara surmised as soon as he said the fourth death was a man that had a heart attack as a result of the other deaths that Wyatt kept the man's death quiet because he didn't want people to panic.
When Wyatt told a dapper older man, Nicholas Norwood, that the kids had to leave, Sara asked why--surprised she didn't know because she seems to know everything--and Wyatt explained Norwood and Nifty Bolan-the criminal who cracks safes-would speak freely without them and Andrew said that's what he thought. Give me a break.
The way of life in England was interesting and I liked when they did something not connected to the building mystery. Like the lamplighter they watched light the lamps in the streets with a long pole, and buying tickets at the theater for the pantomime. I liked the shop that had fabrics from the Arabian Nights that he bought for his mom, and he saw Sara looking at a scarf and wanted to get it for her.
The fight between Verna, his mom, and Wyatt was amusing. She was mad that he met Andrew and Sara and told the director of the play to call it off to protect her life. He said he thought she was respond not rationally but emotionally, and she said when you say emotionally you mean hysterically. And that things must be slow over at Scotland Yard if he was getting so worked up over this.
It was such a surprise that Andrew said his mom and Wyatt had admired each other since they first met. I don't remember picking up on anything between the two of them. She was acting irrationally, getting mad at him for wanting to protect her. I liked that he said he worries more about her than anyone else because he loves her and has from the first time he met her.
After the pantomime they met people backstage and I didn't care for Happy Jack and his crutch and his butchering of the English language like "I says" and "I doubts it." It was made even more annoying when Andrew said he way he talked wasn't like most people and Jack said he wanted to better himself by learning to speak proper. That isn't funny. I can't stand the way he talks.
Jack's grandpa made things for the theater as a carpenter, and I didn't like the line he said to Nifty Bolan--the theif--that they were "a pair of young toffs giving themselves good marks for bringing my Jack home.." I didn't know why Bolan called him Dabby Dick either and didn't really care. Andrew and Sara saw them speaking and Bolan had a big bag with him so they thought that was suspicious.
I couldn't believe there was another cracksman that breaks into safes. Keegee Clipson went to see Norwood who runs the Golden Rule Society about getting a job. While there Norwood tells him he bought a safe but the combination didn't work and he couldn't get back in, so Clipson cracked it for him by listening to when the tumblers liked up. I did like the phrase he said: "Bob's your uncle" when he opened it.
I was terribly confused about the Keegee Clipson character and bought after a while that he was Nifty Bolan going under another name for some reason, that's how confused I was. It threw me for a loop. He had been talking about going to Norwood and he said that Beasley wanted him to go to Norwood and then started saying he gave a pitch and said he'd just gotten out of jail, but then said he'd never been in jail since he was a kid and that's when I got confused. Also that he made himself look old and sickly. I didn't know why or what Beasley needed him for, thought they were up to no good but that didn't make sense because Beasley had Wyatt there, so if they were trying to steal he wouldn't have invited a police officer.
It was funny that when Wyatt asked a question he wouldn't answer because he doesn't like the law, and he just stared at him and then asked Beasley if he had said anything. So from then on the others had to repeat Wyatt's questions in order to get them answered.
There was some mysterious woman who hailed him and made him an offer to break into a safe and she'd pay him well. But she kept her identity a secret.
I was lost and didn't know what was going on. I was so aggravated that all the characters knew and I didn't! Beasley had Clipson pretend to need the Society for some reason, wanted Wyatt in on it and it all had something to do with Nifty Bolan, who Clipson claimed wasn't really going straight. It was funny though when Wyatt said "Though we've never met or talked, I won't forget it."
It was cute that he learned backgammon at school at taught Sara to play, but was sorry he had because she beat him every time.
I didn't like the change in Wyatt, or Peter as he was being called so much. He suddenly acted differently, like much older. And out of character to me, saying things like "Yoicks! View halloo!" Which I f'ing think he would say. And calling Verna "my darling." He seemed so cool in the last book.
I liked that when Fulton was about to come Verna said she gathered Wyatt meant to stay and he said "That's why I'm here." And that he didn't much care what Fulton thought of him being there. I loved when Andrew noticed the officer patrolling their street and said of course it was Peter's work when his mom asked, because he would protect anyone no matter who they were but the feelings he has for her would mean the length he's gone to was extraordinary.
The conversations were so hard to keep up with on who was speaking. The author really needed to be better at saying who said what. This scene confused me to no end and I had to go back and keep checking, actually went Andrew, Sara, Andrew..but it didn't add up because it would have Andrew saying "Neither do I. And I don't know why." And "Of course you do." What in the world?!
"What do you want to do now?" asked Andrew.
"What time is it?"
"Four thirty."
"Too early for tea."
"And too early to go home. Shall we walk around a bit?"
"if you like. Though I must say I don't really feel like it."
"Neither do I. And I don't know why."
"Of course you do," said Andrew.
Just as in the last one, the author's cleverness is evident and I was impressed by the wit of the characters. Sara knew to buy a cake to bring to Jack's to get in his good graces, and it was cute how Andrew said "You do get ideas" and "Let's" in regards to getting it. They saw the bag Nifty Bolan had given Mr. Collins, Jack's gpa, and Andrew cleverly decided to pretend to trip over it to find out what was in it. The man told them it was full of tools, and even showed him the tools and said they're from a cracksman, specifically Bolan who didn't need them anymore. They had asked Jack to tell them if he saw anything related to the murders at the theater, but for some reason they didn't trust him to help them, thought there was something off about him. And the plot thickened.
I resented the fact that this installment turned into the love saga of Verna and Wyatt. It was a little too mature for a young adult's novel, and I wanted more between Andrew and Sara.
It was interesting the custom they had of their servants heating bricks up, called warmers, and wrapping them in flannel sacks for them to put their feet on in the carriage.
The party was so annoying. Looks passing between people, pleasantries about the great French actress, notes being passed. Andrew thinking he had fell in love with the actress because of her looks and how she acted.
Wyatt seemed like such an idiot, like he couldn't even follow a simple sentence. I expect better from the great Inspector that solved every case.
Jack said his mom died before he was born. He said "What do you mean, it's not the truth?" said Jack. "She told me it was!"
"Who's 'she'?" asked Wyatt. "Your mother?"
He just got through saying his mom had died before he was born, which says he never met her. So why would he ask if his mom told him that? His mom told him that other actresses opened the stage door, and she fell through and it killed her? Come on! That was so stupid.
Then, after Jack stabbed Wyatt with his weapon/crutch-which had a needle hidden in the end of it-Wyatt asked Mr. Collins if he made it. He said yes.
"You made the crutch for your daughter, Sally, didn't you?"
"No, I didn't."
"You didn't make it? You just said you did."
"I made it, but not for her."
How stupid of him. Any idiot could have followed that conversation. It’s like he forgot that Wyatt was supposed to be smart.
It just ended suddenly in a conversation after Beasley said a line to Andrew and Sara. All they did was lamely try to play catch-up after the one man show was over. Wyatt knew everything the whole time, that’s why he was watching Norwood of the Golden Rule Society from the get-go. And he had Beasley, the shop owner, get Keegee Clipson to pretend to need to Golden Rule Society in order to get in the middle of it. Turns out Norwood, whom I liked, was the bad guy orchestrating the whole break-in. Turns out he’s been using criminals to carry out his crimes the whole time. That was another reason I didn’t like this book, because good characters were the bad guys. Jack’s mom was the crazy psycho killing actresses 10 years ago, because she was the woman in the story who was seeing a married man and wanted the prime spot in the play, but when she asked for it the man couldn’t give it to her over his wife. So she thought that if she killed his wife she would get the spot in the play. Well, the man was so upset over realizing she had killed his wife that he had a heart attack. And the other actress to die was a friend of the wife’s, who had known that the woman had seen Jack’s mom, so Jack’s mom knew she had to kill her before she could be pinned with the murder. Jack’s mom moved off to Canada and died after. This is what Wyatt figured out early on. Now comes to the current day murders. In a stupid plot twist, the murders weren’t even connected to anything. Norwood used the murders to distract the police from what he was really after, which were the jewels from the beginning of the book. He hired thieves to break in to the shop where they were being kept, while hiring Happy Jack to kill actresses by telling him a rather ridiculous story that his mom was murdered at the theater, that everyone was jealous of her so they opened a stage door for her to fall through and she fell to her death and that’s why he’s crooked. What a stupid idea. I found that to be a really stupid thing to do, lie to a crippled and convince him of a dumb story just to get him to murder someone. I didn’t like his character and didn’t mind that he was bad; Andrew and Sara already suspected him, but jeez, there they were giving him cakes and asking him to spy at the theater for them, and he was a murderer all along. Makes this seem even more far-fetched that kids are dealing with murderers. Everyone was talking about a woman hiring them to do her dirty work; Jack claimed it and his grandpa, Mr. Collins, who’s also bad. This part was confusing, until Wyatt learned at the party that Norwood had suggested having the party for the French actress, and the man that told him this knew Norwood from a play years ago. So Wyatt knew immediately that Norwood was the mysterious woman, because he had played women’s roles in plays and so could masquerade as a woman. Beasley broke into Norwood’s office and stole his book of criminals and what he used them for, and that’s how the book ended. Sara lamely said something like “It was him” in regards to it being Jack. And figured out that Beasley had stolen the book instead of it falling out on the street as he had claimed.
Andrew and Sara didn't do anything this time. No investigating, no clues, no answers. Just bystanders to Wyatt protecting Verna. A fail at a mystery. Verna annoyed me to no end. Jack hobbles in once the gang of thieves were rounded up, including Mr. Collins and Nifty Bolan, who had created a fire to keep people away from their break-in. They even dressed as electricians, but Wyatt had seen this coming and hid the real jewels somewhere else while telling the press they were at this shop. Jack brought flowers for the French actress, but when she wasn’t there he went to give them to Verna—because now he hates all actresses because actresses killed his mom…--and Wyatt went to intercept him and wouldn’t let him give them to her. Verna actually said “Why are you being so difficult, Peter? The boy’s not doing anyone any harm.” What an idiot. Let her get stabbed by that crutch needle if she’s going to be so naïve.
I know his style is to keep readers in the dark, but I felt particularly in the dark and didn’t like it. I hated the mystery, didn’t like the new characters. I was confused 90% of the time. The entire book was waiting for the bad guys to make a move, while Wyatt quizzed people on what they thought was going on, when in reality he knew the whole time. What a waste.
I thought it was cute that both Andrew and Sara felt shy when they hadn't seen each other for a while, and that he thought she looked prettier than ever in her new dress.
