Murder by Cheesecake by Rachel Ekstrom Courage - 329 pages
The Golden Girls in action as true crime solvers. If you have ever watched the iconic TV show The Golden Girls, this cozy mystery is right up your alley. Rose, Blanche, Sophia, & Dorothy are pulled into a murder investigation when a first time date of Dorothy's turns up dead at Rose's cousin Nettie's wedding venue.
While Rose is trying to plan a traditional St. Olaf wedding in Miami with all the St. Olaf family and friends in attendance, a gentleman that Dorothy met for a one-time date turned up dead in the hotel freezer. Dorothy becomes the main suspect. The four women are tasked with helping Rose try to pull off a unorthodox wedding, with resistance from the groom's family, and prove Dorothy's innocence at the same time.
The story is set back in the 80s just like the series. The terms, clothing, music, etc. are all true to the 80s era. The Golden Girls are true to their characters. You can almost hear their voices when reading the book. I would have enjoyed the book even if I had not seen the series, but knowing the series and the characters does help bring the book to life. I hope the author continues this series.
