Listen, it's no secret that I love The Golden Girls, (I have a tattoo of them on my shoulder!) So, when I heard there was going to be a book called Murder by Cheesecake – A Golden Girls Cozy Mystery, I went into overdrive to talk to the author, Rachel Ekstrom Courage. And guess what? That's who I'm talking to today on Newsweek's Parting Shot Podcast.
Rachel told me all about how the book came about, why those four sassy ladies from Miami are perfect for a cozy mystery, and whether she has more Golden Girls inspired mysteries in the works. Seriously, you're going to want to read this book. And follow Rachel Ekstrom Courage to check out all her work.
