Stewart takes the known historical facts and fleshes them out into a marvellous tale. Many of the events that form the plot also occurred, if not always when stated.
Stewart’s Historical Notes and Sources are interesting and informative, revealing that Constance Kopp and her sisters were real people, much as described, as are quite a few of the other characters. In this instalment, Constance and Sheriff Heath prove that they make a very capable team, holding matching ideas about law enforcement and criminal detention, and affording each other respect for their intelligence and abilities. As her sisters keep themselves busy with their preferred pursuits (carrier pigeons, dressmaking and acting), Constance decides she must track down the escapee herself.Ĭonstance does some excellent detective work and, being a well-built lady, does not eschew chase and tackle when required. Then a prisoner escapes under Constance’s watch, putting both her job and the Sheriff’s freedom in jeopardy. One of her charges perplexingly admits to murder despite evidence to the contrary. Two months later, Constance is filling the role of jail matron for the female prisoners while she waits for her badge: as an elected official, Heath has found obtaining approval for employing the first female deputy is challenging.
While she has been a very active Deputy for Sheriff Robert Heath at Hackensack for two months, Constance Kopp learns that her job is not as secure as she had hoped. Lady Cop Makes Trouble is the second book in the Kopp Sisters series by NYT best-selling American author, Amy Stewart.
