Murder by Cheesecake: A Golden Girls Cozy Mystery

By: Courage, Rachel Ekstrom

Book Overview

***Instant NEW YORK TIMES bestseller***

The first novel in the all-new Golden Girls Cozy Mystery Series

When Dorothy's obnoxious date is found dead in a hotel freezer, it not only ruins a gorgeous cheesecake but threatens the elaborate St. Olaf-themed wedding Rose is hosting.

Things are heating up, and not just because of Blanche's hot flashes. Rose's cousin is eloping to Miami, and Rose is playing host. If she can't balance the groom's family's snobbery against the traditional St. Olaf wedding week guidelines, her hometown may never accept her cousin again

Dorothy quickly realizes she needs a date with whom she can exchange wedding-related wisecracks. Turning to a newfangled VHS dating service, she believes she's found the ideal conversationalist. Unfortunately, what looks good on TV can actually be a total jerk in real life. It seems she'll just have to enjoy the company of Sophia, Blanche, and whomever Blanche has targeted for a hookup.

As the Girls all pitch in, Rose is thrilled that the tea-and-fish-themed kickoff event is perfect, not a herring out of place. That is until Dorothy's date is found dead--face-planted in an otherwise scrumptious-looking cheesecake. With every guest a suspect (especially Dorothy) and a marriage on the line, the four besties must ID the real killer, get the should-be-happy couple down the aisle, and make sure nobody from St. Olaf gets lost in the wilds of Miami. It's up to the Golden Girls to sleuth out a way for friendship and love to win the day

Customer Reviews

Absolutely fantastic read!

Even if you are not a golden girls fan, you're going to love this book. But if you are a golden girls fan, boy are you in for a treat. It's like the extra espodies you always hoped you'd find. The story itself is wonderful, exciting and I couldn't put it down, but there are also soooo many true to the show notes. It's just wonderful I can not wait for the rest!!
