Miss Kopp's Midnight Confessions

"Amy Stewart has written a series of novels inspired by Constance Kopp, a real woman and sheriff’s deputy who regularly made headlines in early 20th century New Jersey. In this third installment, Constance takes on society’s crushing expectations of women as Hackensack jail fills up with female prisoners who have been arrested on “morality” charges. (I hope Stewart resists the pressure she alludes to in this book to marry Constance off to the sheriff – she’ll find her happiness without the usual formula.) If you enjoy action, humor and forgotten history, you’ll love Miss Kopp’s Midnight Confessions."
