Cinderella. From Fabletown with Love by Chris Roberson and Shawn McManus (a Fables spinoff). 144 p.
Cindy's cover as a ditzy shoe-store owner and fashionista rich girl keeps people from figuring out that she's a clever, successful spy whose loyalty is to the Fabletown government. This limited series--complete in this volume--showcases one of her assignments, with some fun flashbacks to earlier cases. Our heroine gets to kick a lot of opponents in the face literally, as well as kicking ass metaphorically, while showing off her cleverness and her other talents.
As an aside--one flashback here features Cindy meeting the Confederate spy Belle Boyd, which was my first clue that the character of that name in Clementine (see my previous review) was an actual historical person, rather than an original character of Cherie Priest.
