    Lady Cop Makes Trouble
    Having read Girls Waits With Gun, and having enjoyed Constance Kopp prove her worthiness in law enforcement , I was disappointed in the authors second attempt in Lady Cop Makes Trouble. I found it perhaps a hundred pages too long for the plot and story. Once again Sheriff Heath seems to be the only one who has confidence in her abilities, yet is powerless with the higher authorities to make her the first female deputy, so Constance allows herself to be used as the jail keeper until some agreement, if ever, is reached to make her a member of the police department. I would recommend that the reader acquaint themselves with the character Constance and her family by reading the authors previous novel first or they may be slightly confused on the background story.

    Just no interest
    This book was more like a cozy mystery for young adults. Being an enjoyer of the mystery genre, I found this book not to be my cup of tea. There really was minimal suspense, and the characters were not very deep. Dealing with the turn of century topic of a woman aspiring to be a cop about the time women's suffragette movement was gaining steam lacked authenticity. Just a simple plot, simple characters, and not much to keep one interested. Sorry, this just wasn't for me.
