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!

Amy Stewart continues her smart and engaging series about Constance Kopp and her sisters with aplomb in Miss Kopp Just Won't Quit. Imagining a life for the Kopps, who really did live in New Jersey in the 1910s, Stewart recreates the atmosphere and attitudes of the time to a T, giving readers a well-researched historical novel with great characters and incorporating issues that resonate even today.

I liked the series. I enjoyed the first two the most!

Miss Kopp

Keep ‘em coming, Amy! I couldn’t read this fast enough. Loved it all, and I’ve loved the whole series. Wonderful historical fiction that combines social issues of the day (some of which have persisted for the past 100 years) as well as a spunky, no-nonsense heroine — a woman well ahead of her time with respect to women’s rights and abilities. I’m crazy about Constance Kopp!

I’m sure, from the way this one ends, that a #5 is on the way. Fingers crossed. I read most books (especially fiction) on the Kindle these days. But I’ve bought all of the Miss Kopp books in hardcover and will keep pre-ordering any future titles.

Several readers here have provided a synopsis. And it’s fairly easy to find more information about how Amy Stewart found the Kopp sisters’ story and came to write these books. For starters, take a look at Carol Kubala’s review here. And see Finding Fiction in Facts: Amy Stewart.

Or listen to the interview with Amy Stewart on The Avid Reader podcast.

I didn’t enjoy this quite as much as th Esther’s, but it was stil great, and I was thrilled to see an ad at the end for #5 coming out this fall.

Miss Kopp won't quit and neither will you as you continue turning the pages in this fourth captivating episode of Amy Stewart's popular Kopp Sisters Novels. Look for it at your favorite book vendor or library September 18, 2018. Thank you Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Edelweiss, and Author, Amy Stewart for the opportunity to read Miss Kopp Just Won't Quit prior to its publication.

The strong female characters and historical accuracy in era, mores and locale continue to make this series engaging reading. As the series takes you back to the early years of the twentieth century you can't help but note the differences in time with sprinklings of things that remain. Only woe is we'll have to wait a bit for the next adventure, but some interesting changes seem on the horizon for Constance and her sisters, Norma and Fleurette.

There are several story lines to follow as Constance Kopp goes about her daily business as the only female deputy and matron in the Hackensack, NJ jail. My primary interest and seemingly most important theme this outing was the order of a judge to commit the wife of a prominent citizen to an asylum without due cause let alone an examination by a physician. This issue, a way to lock up unwanted women has been explored in other fiction. Deputy Kopp takes this malpractice to the another level when she intervenes on the woman's behalf. You know this is not going to sit well with the powers that be. The political aspirations not so much of Sheriff Heath, but of his wife, Cordelia, were a close second in keeping me entertained.

My interest in genealogy was piqued when reading an article that explains the inspiration for this series based on fact but woven smartly into fiction. While fact checking information about a gin smuggler, Henry Kaufman for her novel The Drunken Botanist. Finding an article in the NY times about a Henry Kaufman leads her to the Kopps. Using an Ancestry.com account she beings to research the Kopp family tree and the rest is history and historical fiction about the sisters is born.

Short Summary: When Sheriff Heath decides to run for Congress after his term as Sheriff is up, the man running in his place is extremely vocal about his opinion on Miss Kopp and her presence in the jail, but she can only hope that the town will vote against him. The election, unfortunately, doesn’t go as planned and it puts Constance at a crossroads in life.

Thoughts: The fourth installment has the intensity that I was missing with a story still enmeshed in history, still audaciously feminist, and possessing a rousing message about it never being too late to change your path in life.

Verdict: This installment had me falling back in love with this series all over again. The next installment will definitely bring a lot of change to this series, but I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the Kopp sisters.
