As always, the adventures of the Kopp sisters make for enjoyable reading. This installment in the series was exceptionally well-researched and provided an interesting look at a little known aspect of women's service in World War I. I particularly appreciate Amy Stewart's ability to stay true to the times in which her stories are set: her characters push boundaries but never come across as anachronistic.
However, much as I appreciate the craft that went into this story, I found it somewhat lacking in tension. There just wasn't enough at stake to keep me eagerly turning pages, but the audiobook made for decent entertainment.

Told in Stewart’s nimble, witty prose, this fifth in the popular series is based largely on fact and offers a paean to patriotism and the role women have played in war, even a century ago. Devoted fans will be pleased with the tantalising hint Stewart provides about what lies ahead for Constance. STARRED REVIEW
Booklist
Constance Kopp takes on the military establishment in Kopp Sisters on the March, the fifth in Amy Stewart’s entertaining series about three fiercely feminist sisters who refuse to believe that men are meant to rule the world.
Washington Post
Loosely inspired by an actual crime fighter ... the brisk Kopp Sisters on the March, with Constance and her sisters — crabby Norma and dreamy Fleurette — enrolling in one of the National Service Schools that prepared women for what World War I would require of them, on the home front or overseas.
Star-Tribune
A thrilling mix of history and feminism, this new ‘Kopp’ story contains the same captivating storytelling as the first one, with plenty of nuggets for series fans. STARRED REVIEW
Library Journal
Set in the spring of 1917, Stewart’s enjoyable fifth Kopp Sisters novel finds the three Kopp sisters ready to do their bit as the U.S. prepares to enter WWI ... Convincing characters behave in ways true to their era. Stewart does a wonderful job of illuminating a fascinating period in American history.
Publishers Weekly
A feisty, fact-based series ... After losing her dream job as Bergen County deputy sheriff, Constance Kopp regroups at a Maryland Army camp for women on the eve of World War I ... Plenty of loose ends are dangled for future volumes as Constance and Beulah both make peace with their pasts and plans to move forward.
Kirkus Reviews
A pleasing tale with a touch of excitement.

A delight to experience the next installment of the Kopp sister's indomitable lives. I love how Norma just hammers the world into shape around her, and Constance takes charge, whether she wants to or not. This one shines in the excellent foil that Beulah's story adds to the mix -- another historical figure, but a completely different woman's life in the time period than we have seen thus far.

I’m a huge Kopp Sisters fan.This book is slightly different from the past few but I love the new angle.
The Kopp Sisters are attending A training camp at The National Service school in this mystery.Its meant to help women in their War efforts but you realize really quickly that it’s almost an extension of how men think women should contribute...cooking,cleaning and sewing.You get to meet the infamous Beulah Binford in this book.
What I love about this series is that it’s based on true stories and has very strong feminine leads.They had to fight to do what they really wanted to do...be a Police Matron or train pigeons to be carrier pigeons in the war.
Thankyou Netgalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for this wonderful ARC.
