Girl Waits With Gun

This is a really charming book about a little known criminal case in Bergen country, NJ just after the turn of the 20th century. It was recommended on a podcast, though I've now forgotten which. The main character, Constance Kopp, was a real person and the retelling of the case is largely factual. This has the same, civilian turn deputy feel as The Alienist, and I'd recommend it if you enjoyed that. It's got a bit of cheeky humor too. 3.5 stars.
