About this ebook

EXTRA DIRTY is book #2 in the Ruby Steele Mystery, which begins with ON THE ROCKS (Book #1).

 

Ruby Steele, 30, beautiful, fit, seems just like any other ex-pat hiding out in the Bahamas and playing local bartender. But unruly patrons find out the hard way: Ruby is a mixed-martial-arts pro, and not one you’d want to cross.

 

A 40-something female tourist seeks out Ruby, desperate for her help. She was out partying all night with her friend, both of them drinking way too much and doing things they don’t want their husbands to know about.

 

The problem is, as of 12 hours ago, her friend is missing.

 

Their husbands can’t know.

 

The cops can’t know.

 

She needs Ruby’s help. And she’s running out of time.

 

Ruby, though, has enough problems of her own. Shadowy figures from her old life are getting close. Way too close.

 

Can Ruby really pay detective and take on someone else’s problems? Who is this woman, anyway? And what isn’t she telling her?

 

Ruby can’t keep away from a bad decision.

 

And this time, it looks like, there won’t be any exception….

 

Welcome to the Bahamian world of Ruby Steele, replete with her local dive bar, her wily pet monkey, her major drinking problem, her (way) too many fights, her inability to get herself out of trouble, and her fists made of stone. Ruby’s life is a complete wreck. But there’s one thing she’s good at: capturing your heart.

 

EXTRA DIRTY (A RUBY STEELE MYSTERY) is book #2 in a page-turning mystery/thriller series, one that will linger with you long after the last page is read.

 

Book #3 (FULL-BODIED) in the series is also available.

 

Ratings and reviews

Ruby is keeping a low profile in the Bahamas as a bartender. To her surprise, a tourist comes to find her in the bar to get her help with a missing friend. They had partied all night, had too much to drink, and her friend disappeared. She wants this kept quiet, no police, no husband. Time is quickly running out! But Ruby already has her hands full. Bad guys from her past are closing in. When the kidnapping becomes a murder, it’s getting really complicated, especially for a bartender trying to stay out of the spotlight! As everything starts to close in on her, she wonders who that tourist woman is, and what hasn’t she told Ruby about this situation? The reader can expect lots of fighting and danger as trouble closes in all around Ruby. The action and excitement will keep the reader fully invested in the fast-moving story line. Grab your copy and dive into the action!

Extra Dirty is the second book in the Ruby Steele Cozy Mystery series and is an enjoyable read. This book is lots of fun to read with humour, murder, mystery, action, and trouble from the past. I really like the character of Ruby. She is smart, intelligent, and relatable. I am looking forward to the next book in this series. I read and reviewed this book with no obligation.

If you like fearless characters, fast-paced stories and a woman who will not accept anything except in the way she wants them, you will enjoy this book. It´s easy to read and entertaining! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
