GIRL WAITS WITH GUN by Amy Stewart

GIRL WAITS WITH GUN  by Amy Stewart
Constance Kopp, the first woman Deputy Sheriff of New Jersey, is the heroine of this novel.  Constance was a real person as are her sisters and the other law enforcement persons. The personalities of each is clearly defined. The story moves slowly, but is interesting with the detailed descriptions of life in 1914 in small towns, large cities and the family farm.  The narrative is enhanced by the newspaper articles (real ones) that are interspersed throughout. 
Altogether an engaging novel about an intriguing woman and her refreshingly novel family even with a fairly slow start.

4 of 5 stars
