I couldn‘t get through this one which is a shame cuz I usually love the Kopp sisters. That might be the problem tho-it wasn‘t about the Kopp sisters. They were a small part and I got POV from two minor and new characters. I didn‘t even see a mystery. I finally quit and will try book 4 instead. Let‘s get back to the Kopps!

Liked the premise more than the execution. Very interesting (in an infuriating way) to learn how young women were treated by the law back then, and I liked how Constance handled the situations. Also really liked the girls themselves, particularly Edna. But the storyline around Fleurette running off to join a vaudeville act grew tiresome, & the characters of May Ward & Freeman Bernstein were too heavy handed. Still enjoyed tho, will read on. 3/5 ⭐️

It called to mind the work that enormous rats might do, if such creatures existed.

[What do u mean “if”? #RodentsOfUnusualSize 🤣]

Young women were being locked up for months, and possibly years, over offenses that amounted to little more than leaving their parents‘ home without permission, or carrying on with an unsuitable man.

Constance couldn‘t help but notice that the unsuitable men were never arrested for their part in the crime.

I loved the first book in this series, and liked the second one, though it was definitely not as good. But the synopsis on this third volume sounds really interesting. Plus I love these covers!

The story and writing style made this a pleasure. It made me think about my definition of a "fulfilled life" and it made me even more appreciative of the women who made my ability to aim for my definition of fulfillment a reality.

Harry Potter Goblet of Fire taking longer the second time around, but still loving it. Miss Kopp's Midnight Confessions going down easy, really love it, and first audiobook NOS4A2 is making my walks longer (10,000 steps never felt so good)🚶I feel good about my August reading goals, thx #TBRCrew for the motivation .

Reading now.

Another entertaining read about the Kopp sisters. This one isn‘t my favorite in the series, but still great writing and character development. Definitely worth the read for me. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️ and 1/2

This seemed a logical continuation of the sisters' story. As Constance continues to embrace her job, it's natural she'd become preoccupied w/the cases of young women looking for non-traditional lives. It's just as natural that Fleurette would seek a life on stage. Everything flowed so well that I found myself turning page after page. And the varied storylines allowed for a lot of introspection, as well as humor while jumping back & forth.

$2.99 ebook alert! This one might be today only. Everywhere ebooks are sold.

Another great read from Amy Stewart! Is anyone else pulling for a little something-something between Sheriff Heath and Constance? Please tell me I‘m not the only one rooting for them lol

Happy Easter to all who celebrate! No egg hunts for me today, but still hoping to spend as much time outside ☀️ Spring is here today!!

Oh, Norma 🤣

Catching up on this fun series based on the lives of an early female policewoman and her two sisters. This installment is my favorite so far!! #MountTBR

This is my final book for #booked2018 ! Happy to say that it was also from the mountainous #TBR pile! This is Book 3 of a series based on the real life of sisters who lived in New Jersey in the early 1900‘s. Miss Constance Kopp became somewhat a celebrity due to the fact that a female assistant sheriff, who carried a gun and wore a gold star was quite unusual for the period! Despite the lack of respect that she faced, Constance was a #underdoghero

Just a quick reminder that I‘m giving away all four Kopp Sisters novels—and this is for Litsy only! Enter by Dec 20

Reading this book which has been sitting on my shelves for some time for my last #booked2018 selection. A few Litsy friends chose Miss Kopp‘s books for #underdoghero. Happy to find this on my #TBR !

So good, as always. Norma is a combination of spirit animal and cautionary tale 😂

I've had my nose in a book all day, finishing up the tagged book before I crack open the ARC of the fourth in the series.
I took a quick break to make dinner and snapped this photo. You can dress up pasta a million different ways but I kept it simple with ginger sesame noodles and some sriracha to spice it up.

Friday evening plans 🙌

I‘ve had so much fun binge-reading the Kopp Sisters series by Amy Stewart! Each novel is different, not only plot-wise as you‘d expect but also structurally. The first book is slow-building suspense and backstory of the MC, the second is a chase story, and this one has multiple POVs—most interesting are two young women, reprimanded by their parents just for trying to live independently, who fall under Constance‘s supervision at the county jail.

Another thoroughly fun romp through the life of Constance Kopp, intrepid female deputy in early 20th century New Jersey. A great way to begin my Sunday morning!

I really loved how this book wove together so many different (and very distinct) young women‘s stories. The historical aspect is very well handled — shades of Angela Woollacott in Edna‘s views of her work! This series would be one for a list of books with female main characters and no romantic plot as well.

The calm in the eye of the move: time to start a new book.

I adore these books and love the characters even more! This one let us get a little more insight into Fleurette as a young woman fast approaching adulthood. I can‘t wait to read book 4!

So far, the thing I‘m finding most interesting is the commentary on prison as reformative vs. punitive to be particularly interesting, especially given the similarities to modern day thinking. There is also much discussion of which is worse- prison or war. And what is women‘s role in either/both? I‘m only a chapter in and I love it already.

It‘s Paperback Day for MISS KOPP‘S MIDNIGHT CONFESSIONS, and I‘m celebrating with a big giveaway on my FB page. If you‘re interested, go there and search for AmyStewartAuthor, or sign up for my newsletter at Amy Stewart.com/newsletter for another shot at it. And yes, a Litsy giveaway is coming later this summer when we are ready to roll out the next book!

Eagerly awaiting new installments of these series and a whole bunch of others @AmyStewart 🖊 #seriesuptodate #strongwomen #womanauthors #femalesleuth #patienceisavirtue

Deputy sheriff Constance Kopp is 1916‘s answer to the feminist movement. In this third book of Amy Stewart‘s wildly popular series, she takes on the archaic morality laws of the time. Based on the true life story of the Kopp Sisters, these books keep getting better and better. As long as Stewart keeps writing them, I will be reading them.

Major ear-worm with this title. An excellent series, by the way.

This was an excellent choice for my first read of the year!

Constance Kopp returns in the third installment of this series, and is fully embracing her role as deputy sheriff. She's doing everything in her power to help the women that end up in her prison, and is coming into conflict with ideas of how young girls should behave.

Loved this and can't wait for the next one!

A (very) light detective read based on true events. Set in 1916 against the backdrop of WWI, the story follows Constance Kopp, a female deputy sheriff, who stands up for girls charged with waywardness. Then her youngest sister runs away from home and challenges Constance's beliefs.

When you realize it was THE AUTHOR who liked your review of her book!!! 😊💚💙💜🧡 ... and then you wish you‘d said more!

Hello Litsy friends! Are any of you in New Orleans? I am! I‘d love to see you at Octavia Books on Tues 1/9 at 6, or St Charles Parish Library Thurs 1/11 at 6:30. And if you‘re not in New Orleans, lots more events are being worked out now—check the Events page on AmyStewart.com

This series entertains me! Set in NJ, with a female deputy sheriff in the early 1900s. Smart & fun. Love the historic notes the author included at the end.

While this was the least action-packed of the books so far, it was chock full of interesting social commentary of a time when illegal cohabitation was a crime, and girls could be arrested for waywardness if they tried to assert their independence. I did like that Fluerette got a bigger role, and that we finally saw the specter of war. Hope there's more to come!

#audiobooking in bed with some knitting. Almost done with this book. The same cannot be said for this sweater, which I just started last night. #knittersoflitsy

Evening audiobooking. I am in love with this series.

Finished with a few days to spare. Hooray!!!

Time to catch up with the Kopp sisters. 😀

The incredible author and our fellow Litten, @AmyStewart , is doing a big #giveaway today! It includes the deluxe "Princess Bride" book from @hmhbooks , all 3 Kopp Sister novels, wickedness from @AlgonquinBooks @AlgonquinYR , & more! Head over to her Facebook page to enter--search Amy Stewart Author.

Enjoyed this as much as the first two in the series: Constance and her sisters are interesting, individual, and full of agency. Aces all the way around.

Just as entertaining and enjoyable as the first two novels in this series!

This third installment in the Kopp Sisters series starts a little slowly but the likable characters more than makes up for the lackluster plot! Fleurette follows her #Dreams in this one and it‘s nice to see Norma out more! #NoteworthyNovember @Jess7
