"My friend Joan Rivers has 'murdered' more people at the Academy Awards¨ than anyone else -- and made us all laugh in the process. Now she's written a murder mystery and it's her best show yet."
-- Regis Philbin
"Joan Rivers has always made me laugh, and she's done it again -- this time as a writer! Murder at the Academy Awards¨ is very funny and very smart, with a clever plotline that probes deep under Hollywood's famous red carpet.

-- Chicago Sun-Times
"Miss Marple in Manolos, Bond with a boob job.... The fun is in detecting where the fictional Maxine stops and Rivers begins."
