MISS KOPP JUST WON’T QUIT is historical fiction, the latest in a series about Constance Kopp, a deputy sheriff in New Jersey at a time, 1916, still early enough to refer to her as “lady deputy sheriff” rather than just “deputy sheriff.” Most of the characters in this book really did exist, and most of what happens is based on actual events that occurred either to these characters or to someone there at that time.

For these reasons, MISS KOPP JUST WON’T QUIT is a worthwhile read. But I didn’t find it engaging. In other words, it is not a page turner.

Many people give high ratings to books that don’t grab them as long as those books are otherwise commendable. I don’t.
