“[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.”
—The 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.”

—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.”
