Description

Constance Kopp and her sisters take on the military establishment at a training camp for women as the U.S. readies for war. It’s the spring of 1917 and change is in the air. American women have done something remarkable: they’ve banded together to create military-style training camps for women who want to serve. These so-called National Service Schools prove irresistible to the Kopp sisters, who leave their farm in New Jersey to join up.

When an accident befalls the matron, Constance reluctantly agrees to oversee the camp—much to the alarm of the Kopps’ tent-mate, the real-life Beulah Binford, who is seeking refuge from her own scandalous past under the cover of a false identity. Will she be denied a second chance? And after notoriety, can a woman’s life ever be her own again?  

In Kopp Sisters on the March, the women of Camp Chevy Chase face down the skepticism of the War Department, the double standards of a scornful public, and the very real perils of war. Once again, Amy Stewart has brilliantly brought a little-known moment in history to light with her fearless and funny Kopp sisters novels.

These engaging historical mystery series feature capable women sleuths determined to solve cases despite their era's restrictive regard of women. Phryne Fisher is a 1920s aristocrat in Australia; Constance Kopp is a World War I-era New Jersey deputy sheriff. -- Shauna Griffin
Determined and whip-smart women find themselves in the unlikely (but greatly appreciated) position of being police officers in 1914 Hackensack, NJ (Kopp Sisters) and 1888 Brooklyn, NY (Mary Handley). Both amusing, compelling mystery series are strongly based in historical fact. -- Melissa Gray
Both are historical mystery series whose rule-breaking female sleuths -- a rebellious English lady (Edwardian), a trio of individualist New Jersey sisters (Kopp) -- stir controversy wherever they go. While both are upbeat, the Edwardian novels are more madcap. -- Kim Burton
Strong-willed women sheriffs star in these fast-paced historical mystery series set in the early 20th century. Both offer a strong sense of place, compelling storylines, and are based on real events, places, and people. -- Halle Carlson
Set in Paterson, NJ in the 1910s, the Kopp Sisters novels aren't far from the 1920s New York City setting of Last Call at the Nightingale. Both compellingly written historical mystery series have nonconformist female leads. -- Basia Wilson
Starring strong, progressive women, these funny and entertaining historical mysteries not only offer clever puzzles, but also colorful, well-developed characters and insight into the difficulties experienced by Edwardian women trying to create rewarding professional lives for themselves. -- Melissa Gray
In these suspenseful reads, criminals turn out to be no match for the intrepid Kopp sisters and ever-capable Isaac Bell. Both historical series unfold at a fast clip and deliver a detailed look at America in the early 20th century. -- Basia Wilson
These series have the theme "wartime crime"; the genre "historical mysteries"; the subject "policewomen"; and characters that are "authentic characters."
These series have the appeal factors suspenseful, and they have the theme "wartime crime"; the genres "historical mysteries" and "police procedurals"; the subject "policewomen"; and characters that are "authentic characters" and "introspective characters."

The breezy tone and pace these authors employ go well with their choice of topics, which are often offbeat, weird, or creepy -- but always fascinating. Their books are well-researched and witty, and while their subject matter differs, the authors' curious minds are evident in the fascinating tidbits they unearth. -- Shauna Griffin
These entertaining and witty authors start with a love of gardening, and branch out into a wide range of topics such as the floral business and the history of botany. All their engaging books benefit from the authors' human touch, focusing as much on the people involved as the details of technology or business. -- Melissa Gray
These authors write fascinating and well-researched explorations into the adventure, history, science, and business of gardening and plants.

Booklist Review

Adrift after being fired as deputy sheriff in Bergen County, New Jersey, Constance Kopp joins her sisters Norma and Fleurette at the newly established National Service School for women at Camp Chevy Chase, Maryland, in 1917. When the camp matron breaks her leg, Constance is persuaded to take over, and, liking nothing more than being in charge, she begins to tailor classes to resemble men's training, including marksmanship and hand-to-hand combat for a select few. While many of the campers are young women from wealthy Manhattan families, one doesn't fit that mold: Beulah Binford, a national symbol of moral degeneracy, views the camp as her last resort after being sacked as both an officer at a New York factory and the mistress of the factory's owner. Claiming to be Roxanne Collins of Park Avenue, she trains lackadaisically and keeps her anonymity until provoked, in an incident that rocks the camp. As the U.S. enters WWI, Constance takes command to show what women can do. Told in Stewart's nimble, witty prose, this fifth in the popular series is based largely on fact and offers a paean to patriotism and the role women have played in war, even a century ago. Devoted fans will be pleased with the tantalizing hint Stewart provides about what lies ahead for Constance.--Michele Leber Copyright 2019 Booklist

Publisher's Weekly Review

Set in the spring of 1917, Stewart's enjoyable fifth Kopp Sisters novel (after 2018's Miss Kopp Just Won't Quit) finds the three Kopp sisters ready to do their bit as the U.S. prepares to enter WWI. They head off to the National Service School in Maryland, a camp to teach women ways to help the war effort. Constance, the eldest, is at loose ends after losing her job as sheriff's deputy in Paterson, N.J. Middle sister Norma thinks the army will need her homing pigeons to carry messages from the battlefield. Fleurette, the youngest, plans to entertain the troops. All the volunteers have their own reasons for being there, but one in particular, the notorious real-life Beulah Binford, is hoping to finally put her past behind her. Flashbacks reveal Beulah's role in a murder scandal. When Constance is recruited to run the camp, she quickly decides the girls should know more about preparedness than rolling bandages. Convincing characters behave in ways true to their era. Stewart does a wonderful job of illuminating a fascinating period in American history. Author tour. Agent: Michelle Tessler, Tessler Literary. (Sept.)

This fifth installment of the Kopp Sisters series (after Miss Kopp Just Won't Quit) opens with real-life Beulah Binford trying to escape her scandalous past and its ensuing newspaper headlines by enrolling in the National Service School, a training camp in New Jersey for young women who want to help with war duties. The Kopp sisters, led by Norma and her pigeons, arrive at the same time that Beulah does, and both parties quickly realize that their camp's purpose is more decorative than functional. After an accident catapults Constance into the role of camp matron, the routines at the camp improve, and the sisters each begin to find a new purpose as they learn new skills. Just as Beulah is adjusting to her new life, Fleurette, the youngest Kopp sister, arranges a visit from a vaudeville troupe to entertain the women. The troupe's arrival means Beulah's secrets are no longer safe, which forces her and Constance to become unlikely allies against the gendered double standards of 1917. VERDICT A thrilling mix of history and feminism, this new "Kopp" story contains the same captivating storytelling as the first one, with plenty of nuggets for series fans.

Kirkus Book Review

After losing her dream job as Bergen County deputy sheriff, Constance Kopp regroups at a Maryland Army camp for women on the eve of World War I.In the fifth installment of her feisty, fact-based series (Miss Kopp Just Won't Quit, 2018, etc.), Stewart throws an additional real-life figure into the fictional mix: Beulah Binford, fleeing a notorious past in Richmond and thinking that training to support the troops will be her ticket to a new life in Franceif only no one recognizes her. What precisely Beulah is trying to hide is the only sort-of mystery here, and her memories leading up to that revelation form a substantial part of the novel. Though her story is fairly interesting, it does give Stewart less room for the Kopp sisters. That may be just as well, since Norma's efforts to persuade the Army of the value of carrier pigeons is neither as interesting nor as funny as Stewart seems to think, and Fleurette's stage-struck self-absorption is a slightly shopworn trait, though it is fun to see Beulah taking tart notice of it. Constance, who reluctantly assumes command of the camp after an injury sidelines her predecessor, dismisses the training deemed suitable for ladies as "a game" and secretly instructs a small group of equally determined women in the use of real guns. But she's still brooding over her vanished opportunity in law enforcement, and a bit of a bore about it too, until Beulah proves the worth of her insertion into the series by forcefully (but not unsympathetically) urging Constance to make her own opportunities. A slam-bang finale mostly compensates for the fuzzy focus of this installment: Constance's unorthodox training is triumphantly justified, and Norma wins a high-ranking ally for her pigeons. Plenty of loose ends are dangled for future volumes as Constance and Beulah both make peace with their pasts and plans to move forward.A bit messy, but perhaps required to recalibrate this deservedly popular series for future volumes.
