Murder by Cheesecake was a bit Cheesy

"This book was cute and had its moments, but nothing special. I was expecting it too be much funnier and more detailed. A quick read but need more ingredients to add for flavour."

Corona (5/5)

Just like watching the show! Fantastic!

"I cannot wait for the next Golden Girls Cozy Mystery! This was so much fun to read. So many times I would laugh out loud at Sophia’s zingers…just as quick-witted and snarky as they were on the tv show. All of the Golden Girls were written so true to character, I could picture and hear them all just as if I were watching them on tv. I am so happy I discovered this series!"

[A] breezy whodunit … Courage splendidly captures the voices and mannerisms of her much-loved characters, and wisely resists the impulse to modernize the show’s 1980s Miami setting. For Golden Girls fans, this is a nostalgic delight.”
Publishers Weekly

Murder by Cheesecake is a nostalgic, fast-paced and hilarious escape. An absolute delight!”
—Christina Lauren, New York Times bestselling author of Love and Other Words

“Murder by Cheesecake is the real deal. It takes guts and serious talent to write jokes worthy of Dorothy, Rose, Blanche, and Sophia, and author Rachel Ekstrom Courage has the goods.”
—T
he Audible Editors, an Editors Select pick

“It's murder most witty as the Golden Girls sleuth, spar and support one another in their irrepressible style. This escape to 80's Miami, complete with teal, coral, breezy palms and shoulder pads, contains more red herrings than a St. Olaf wedding. Will young love triumph? Will justice be served, Everglades-style? Will Sophia take off her compression hose? You'll love—and laugh—with every page-turning moment.”
—Julia Spencer-Fleming, New York Times bestselling author of At Midnight Comes the Cry

"If you were a big fan of The Golden Girls, as I was, you’ll relish this chance to join them again for this lighthearted caper.”
—Rhys Bowen, New York Times bestselling author of The Tuscan Child

Murder by Cheesecake shows the Golden Girls at their best: being true friends—and having fun at any age!”
—Nancy Martin, bestselling author of Some Like It Lethal

“[A] sparkling cozy. . . Humor, plot twists, convincing portrayals of the Golden Girls, and the Miami setting add up to a satisfying cozy that will be relished by Golden Girls fans.”
—Booklist

“If you are a Golden Girls fan, even a casual fan, or if you are a fan of cozy mysteries like Murder She Wrote, The Maid, or Thursday Murder Club—Murder by Cheesecake is for you.”
—H. Alan Scott, Senior Editor at Newsweek and co-host of Out on the Lanai: A Golden Girls Podcast

“There’s no doubt author Rachel Ekstrom Courage is a true “Golden Girls” devotee. She takes the time to describe even the furniture in the women’s home to bring us fans back to that familiar kitchen and living room. References to plots and recurring characters from the show are sprinkled throughout the pages…. [An] especially pleasant, breezy way to have “the girls” back again for a little while.”
—Associated Press

“Cozy, kitschy, and full of cheesecake-baked chaos… a sweet stab of nostalgia.”
—BookTrib
