The second in the series abut the Kopp sisters. Constance was one of the first female sheriff deputies and in this book she finds herself under attack for being a woman. She is downgraded to prison matron while Sherriff Heath tries to navigate the political fallout from hiring a woman. In the meantime, a prisoner Constance as guarding escapes. She knows the only solution to her problems is to capture the man on the lam. How can she find him when nobody else seems to be able to? She starts her own investigation and rousts his brother who is accused of harboring the fugitive...at least it is start. It is a lot of fun to read about Constance and I love that the author gives us some insight into her research. Constance was a real person but these books are fictional accounts of her activities. The real Constance was involved in a man hunt but there is no evidence she was to blame for his escape. Secondary characters are a look of fun too. Constance meets a woman lawyer and a woman reporter during her search. They are handy to have around to boost her confidence and reinforce her goals.
