Looked forward to this book that seems to wrap upn the story

I enjoy this series. It's an entertaining, easy read. Yet I feel I am learning something of the time as these books are based on real people and the stories are influenced by real eveninflue

Not bad, just too derivative of the first three. It just blurs into the same old story yet again. At the end, Constance does leave the job, so maybe the change will reinvigorate the series.

I'm not sure how I missed $4 in this series, because #5 is out now. I love how Amy Stewart has taken the true stories of these three sisters, and the people of Hackensack New Jersey, and created these fictions. They are just delightful.

this is a consistently enjoyable series. stewart does a wonderful job mixing fact and fiction with her kopp sisters, and the writing and details in each instalment really bring the stories to life. things are a bit darker here, in 1916 - america is on the edge, about to enter WWI, and politics (and politicking) and the war create uncertainty for the futures of all stewart's characters. while foreshadowing in this book didn't make the dénouement much of a surprise, it didn't matter or take away from the reading in any way, and stewart still managed to sustain suspense and atmosphere. the novel closes with a small taste of what's to come as constance, norma, fleurette, and sheriff heath head towards their next adventures. with hope, we won't have to wait too long for book #5.

Another great book in the series. I really enjoyed reading about the characters again and seeing what crimes will need to be solved or what the characters will get up to this time. I like how each book has a main plot, but you also get to see the lives of the characters along the way and how they change over time. The story is written in a way that makes you want to keep reading, because you're curious to see what happens next.
So far I've really enjoyed the series and I'm excited to pick up the next book.

These books are so enjoyable. I always hesitate when picking them up because the others were so good and I am worried the new one won't live up to them, but I am always proven wrong. Miss Kopp deals with the new sheriff elections and several new, incredibly interesting cases in this latest installment (including a couple cases dealing with "insane" people and higher society criminals). She picks her way through the politics of the election like someone picking through food they don't really like. The war is an ever present threat in the background as well and you can feel the tension throughout the story. My favorite part as always, is the last couple pages where Stewart details what in the story came from actual newspaper stories of the time and what was fictional. A highly enjoyable read for anyone interested in strong women, the criminal justice system, history of the 1910s and 20s, or just a plucky story of someone always fighting for what's right and just. Can't wait for the next one!
