Deputy Constance Kopp, of Bergen County, N.J., comes under scrutiny during the brutal 1916 election season in bestseller Stewart’s fraught fourth Kopp Sisters novel (after 2017’s Miss Kopp’s Midnight Confessions). While her mentor and boss, Sheriff Robert Heath, runs for Congress, the real-life Constance prepares for a successor less supportive of the “lady deputy.” Her extracurricular investigation into the case of Anna Kayser, a seemingly sane woman whose husband and doctor conspired to send her to a mental institution, unexpectedly threatens to affect the election. Stewart draws on newspaper accounts from the era for the vicious rhetoric aimed at Constance, whose audacity at working in a male-dominated profession provides political fodder for her boss’s opponents. Although the Kayser story eventually loses steam, Stewart skillfully builds nail-biting suspense around the election results and Constance’s subsequent employment prospects. The blend of practicality, forthrightness, and compassion in her first-person narration is sure to satisfy series fans and win new admirers. Author tour.

Stewart's main character, the first female deputy sheriff of New Jersey, Constance Kopp, is based on a real-life person. In the fourth installment of the Kopp sisters series, narrator Christina Moore portrays Constance as a no-nonsense deputy who doesn't ask for any favors but expects to be treated as the professional law officer she is. But in the 1916 election in Bergen County, both of the candidates for sheriff laugh at the idea of a "lady detective." Moore has a host of characters she brings to life, among them the good-old-boy former sheriff, who is running again, and his opponent, who criticizes Constance every chance he gets. Moore also depicts the compassionate side of Constance as she fights for delinquent girls and for a wife whose husband unjustly commits her to an asylum. J.E.M. � AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
