    About this series

    Gladdy Gold Mystery #7
    “The Golden Girls play Nancy Drew in their own funny and creative ways...colorful and Meshugeneh.”—Mystery Scene
    Life isn’t always sunny in Florida! Back from her blissful honeymoon with her longtime beau, Jack Langford, Gladdy Gold thinks it would be perfect for Jack, an ex-cop, to join her detective agency. But Gladdy’s gals say no dice and soon, Ida, Sophie, and Bella are taking classes to be real PIs on their own.
    Soon enough, there’s plenty of trouble to go around when sultry Joyce Steiner reopens an old rivalry with Arlene Simon, whose husband ran off with Joyce fifty-five years earlier. And when Joyce is murdered, Arlene is the prime suspect. Gladdy and her girls will have to reunite if they’re going to get to the truth…if it doesn’t kill them first!!

Retirement takes on a new meaning after spending time with Gladdy and her gladiators! Gladdy Gold and her screwball bunch of gladiators are out to solve another hilarious case." –Fresh Fiction

      Gladdy Gold Mystery #4 “The Golden Girls play Nancy Drew in their own funny and creative ways...colorful and Meshugeneh.”—Mystery Scene Gladdy Gold has traded New York snow for Florida sunshine and she’s loving every second! With a handsome gentleman, poolside gossip and a thriving private investigator business (perfect for a dedicated snoop!), life is grand…until a trip back to the Big Apple leads to Big Trouble. And murder! Luckily for Gladdy, Sophie, Bella, and Ida, her fellow detectives are right behind her. While the girls stretch their undercover skills by posing as bag ladies (not the Chanel kind) to catch a criminal, another surprise awaits! Gladdy’s boyfriend, Jack Langford, is in town too—and reopening a cold case: the murder of Gladdy’s husband. Can Gladdy and Jack finally solve this very personal crime—and maybe find some closure in the process?
