While transporting a woman to an insane asylum, Deputy Kopp discovers something deeply troubling about her story. Before she can investigate, another inmate breaks free and tries to escape.

In both cases, Constance runs instinctively toward justice. But 1916 is a high-stakes US election year, and any move she makes could jeopardize Sheriff Heath’s future — and her own. Constance’s controversial career makes her the target of political attacks.

I always enjoy these books; they’re soothing reads in many ways, as Stewart doesn’t try to over dramatise or create more suspense than history dictates.  (This series is based on the real events and life of Constance Kopp.)  This 4th instalment surrounds the election for Sheriff, a pivotal point for Constance, because the sitting sheriff – the one that was bold enough to hire a woman – has hit his term limit and can run.

It’s a bittersweet story with an interesting ending.  I look forward to finding out how the Kopp sisters fare.
