1 y separately published work icon Cinderella Must Die W. R. Gingell , Huonville : W. R. Gingell , 2022 24873581 2022 single work novel crime

'Cinderella is married to The Prince, and the Evil Stepsisters are banished to a pocket dimension for their punishment and rehabilitation. It's Happily Ever After.

'Or is it?

'Jane and Charlie have been imprisoned for two years now, serving a sentence especially chosen by their stepsister as justice for her sufferings. It seems that they're the only two people in the world besides Ellen who know that Ellen's “sufferings” were a carefully manipulative campaign to win a prince and a crown; the two stepsisters merely collateral damage.

'But now, trouble is brewing at the castle: death threats, torn gowns, ruined books.

'Is Ellen up to her old tricks, or is someone really trying to kill her? And when even their closest friends didn't believe them innocent the first time, can Jane and Charlie escape the blame a second time if Ellen does die?' (Publication summary)
