Sassy Cinderella and the Valiant Vigilante: A Ruby Taylor Mystery Paperback - 2004

From the rear cover

When a professor at the local university dies, Ruby Taylor is hired to fill his shoes. Along with a frozen corpse and midnight intruders, this sassy Cinderella also has to deal with lost love and a family that defines the word dysfunctional. Deadly university politics turn personal as Ruby works to straighten out a mystery that has more twists than a silly straw.

Praise for the Ruby Taylor Mysteries:

[Ruby Taylor's] gutsy stubbornness and humorous one-liners make this mystery a fun and interesting read! The story lives up to the unique title. Well done."

"Readers who enjoy [Janet Evanovich and Sue Grafton] . . . will become fans of Sharon Dunn."

"Ruby, a gawky six-footer, is endearing as she primes her tired old psyche for one last go at love."

"Interwoven in this adventuresome tale are the author's wit and humor . . . a fun and enjoyable read. Highly recommended."

Sharon Dunn is an instructor and tutor at Montana State University. Even though she is an award-winning short-story writer, and playwright and the author of Romance Rustlers and Thunderbird Thieves, her cats and her kids pretty much run her life.
