MISS KOPP JUST WON’T QUIT is historical fiction, the latest in a series about Constance Kopp, a deputy sheriff in New Jersey at a time, 1916, still early enough to refer to her as “lady deputy sheriff” rather than just “deputy sheriff.” Most of the characters in this book really did exist, and most of what happens is based on actual events that occurred either to these characters or to someone there at that time. For these reasons, MISS KOPP JUST WON’T QUIT is a worthwhile read. But I didn’t find it engaging. In other words, it is not a page turner. Many people give high ratings to books that don’t grab them as long as those books are otherwise commendable. I don’t. My bookclub received ARCs of MISS KOPP JUST WON'T QUIT through bookclubcookbook.com.

Another enjoyable "Miss Kopp" saga. This is number 4 in the series, and many of the same characters from the earlier books return - sisters Norma and Fleurette, Sheriff Heath, and a few of the women prisoners under Constance's care in her role as New Jersey's first female deputy sheriff. Constance Kopp tells her own story with wit, honesty, and determination. What elevates this entertaining series is author Amy Stewart's brilliant concept and her clever writing style. Based on real people and the facts she unearthed in her research, Stewart brings to life an independent woman living in the world of the early 1900's. Each of the novels' titles is taken from an actual newspaper headline describing "the lady cop." "Girl Waits With Gun," "Lady Cop Makes Trouble," "Miss Kopp's Midnight Confessions" and now "Miss Kopp Just Won't Quit." If you've read any of the earlier books, you won't need this review to decide whether to read this one - you know you're in for another amusing and lively story about an uncompromising and determined young woman. If you've just been introduced to Miss Kopp, don't worry. This book can be read as a stand alone, but I guarantee you'll be hunting down the first three afterwards. I received an advance reader's copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
