Life after the war takes an unexpected turn for the Kopp sisters, but
soon enough, they are putting their unique detective skills to use in
new and daring ways.
Winter 1919: Norma is summoned home from France, Constance is called
back from Washington, and Fleurette puts her own plans on hold as the
sisters rally around their recently widowed sister-in-law and her
children. How are four women going to support themselves?
A chance encounter offers Fleurette a solution: clandestine legal work
for a former colleague of Constance's. She becomes a "professional
co-respondent," posing as the "other woman" in divorce cases so that
photographs can be entered as evidence to procure a divorce. While her
late-night assignments are both exciting and lucrative, they put her on
a collision course with her own family, who would never approve of such
disreputable work. One client's suspicious behavior leads Fleurette to
uncover a much larger crime, putting her in the unlikely position of
amateur detective.
In Miss Kopp Investigates, Amy Stewart once again brilliantly captures
the women of this era--their ambitions for the future as well as the
ties that bind--at the start of a promising new decade.
