Lady Cop Makes Trouble

De: Amy Stewart

Narrado por: Christina Moore

The best-selling author of Girl Waits with Gun returns with another adventure featuring the fascinating, feisty, and unforgettable Kopp sisters.

After besting (and arresting) a ruthless silk factory owner and his gang of thugs in Girl Waits with Gun, Constance Kopp became one of the nation's first deputy sheriffs. She's proven that she can't be deterred, evaded, or outrun. But when the wiles of a German-speaking con man threaten her position and her hopes for this new life and endanger the honorable Sheriff Heath, Constance may not be able to make things right.

Lady Cop Makes Trouble sets Constance loose on the streets of New York City and New Jersey - tracking down victims, trailing leads, and making friends with girl reporters and lawyers at a hotel for women. Cheering her on, and goading her, are her sisters, Norma and Fleurette - that is, when they aren't training pigeons for the war effort or fanning dreams of a life on the stage.

Based on a true story, Girl Waits with Gun introduced Constance Kopp and her charming and steadfast sisters to an army of enthusiastic listeners. Those listeners will be thrilled by this second installment - also ripped from the headlines - in the romping, wildly listenable life of a woman forging her own path, tackling crime and nefarious criminals along the way.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Narrator Christina Moore continues to shine in the Kopp Sisters series.... Moore captures Constance perfectly--at times vulnerable but more often a strong and determined turn-of-the-century woman who feels she's finally found her calling. In addition to Constance, Moore expertly gives voice to a cast of secondary characters, including men and people with distinctive accents, making each one a believable individual." ( AudioFile)

Lady Cop Makes Trouble

I have read all of the books in this series. Each one has been a treat! Ms. Stewart has presented an accurate picture of women’s struggles and successes in early 1900
America!

Great second in the series

I read the first in the series (Girl Waits With Gun) on paper, and I found I didn't like the narrator as much as I usually do -- it didn't match my expectations for the characters. Nevertheless it was fine, and I really liked this next instalment in this series about Constance Kopp and her sisters, who are real women from the early 20th century. It's hard to imagine these stories are based on real events, even though I know they are.

favorite series, favorite performance

I simply adore this story. Christina Moore brings the characters to life for me in such a charming way. can't wait for next book:)

Continuation of Girl Waits With Gun

This book picks up where Girl Waits with Gun left off. Without adding any spoilers I can say that Constance causes a situation through an error of her own doing. One of the reasons I love this series is that it is believable. Ms. Stewart doesn't overly glamourize Constance. While I'm sure it's not 100% historically accurate, I can very much see most of the scenarios playing out. I like that Constance is a tall, sturdy, plain woman and that she makes mistakes but has such drive to remedy them and bring justice. I love her work ethic. I love that she never plays victim to anyone and is not only self-reliant but is in fact, a force to be reckoned with. I've already started the last in the series, Miss Kopp's Midnight Confessions and wish that there were more.

This author is fabulous!
