“Murder, true love and an entertaining plot. This book has it all!” 

Helene Tursten, crime fiction author of An Elderly Lady Must Not Be Crossed

"A saucy and murderous romp, Happily Ever After the Murders is a Golden Girls-style delight...if the Golden Girls were killers and also deeply in love. Wilde easily creates a story that is tender and full of heart; a poignant portrayal of family and what it means to love unconditionally. Ida and Jean are total relationship goals." 

Saratoga Schaefer, USA Today bestselling author of Trad Wife

“Rae Wilde is a pro and she knows it. Now one of a very small club of books ever to make me cry, I had the best, coziest, most stressful, and lowkey-sobbing-while-holding-my-wife-est time with Ida and Jean. I couldn’t help but root for them. Let’s go lesbians!” 

Sara van Os, author of Decomposition Book

"Golden Girls Gone Wilde! Happily Ever After the Murders is poignant, hilarious, and delightfully messy! I found myself rooting for these Medicare murderesses—and their poor, harassed cat—from beginning to end!” 

Tanya Pell, Bram Stoker-nominated author of This B Just Won't Die

“Happily Ever After the Murders is a high-stakes chase thriller, yes, but at its core, it’s a story about love, loyalty, and the courage to live authentically. It’s impossible not to fall in love with Ida and Jean. Do yourself a favor and take the ride.” 

Caleb Stephens, award-winning author of You’ll Never Know

Happily Ever After the Murders is an unputdownable reading spree full of humanity and heart. A story about secrets that won’t stay buried, and how far we’ll go to protect the ones we love. Even when we’re afraid.” 

Steph Nelson, author of Last One Out
