“[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 “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
