Murder by Cheesecake
Murder by Cheesecake: A Golden Girls Cozy Mystery | Rachel Ekstrom Courage
3 posts | 1 read | 1 reading | 3 to read
The first novel in the all-new Golden Girls Cozy Mystery Series! When Dorothys obnoxious date is found dead in a hotel freezer, it not only ruins a gorgeous cheesecake but threatens the elaborate St. Olafthemed wedding Rose is hosting. Things are heating up, and not just because of Blanches hot flashes. Roses cousin is eloping to Miami, and Rose is playing host. If she can't balance the grooms familys 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 shes found the ideal conversationalist. Unfortunately, what looks good on TV can actually be a total jerk in real life. It seems shell 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 Dorothys date is found deadface-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. Its up to the Golden Girls to sleuth out a way for friendship and love to win the day!

Thanks for the tag, @dabbe and @TheSpineView !

1. No…I file as early as possible. I even submitted my estimated 1st quarter tax for the 2025 tax season last week! Get it off my to do list and move on to the next item. 😂

2. I‘m reading so many books, but this one released today that features The Golden Girls conjures up nostalgia. And, a good word: cheesecake! #Two4Tuesday

A sarcastic substitute teacher, a naive Midwestern airhead, a southern sexpot, and a ornery curmudgeon walk into a bar; rather, four 'Golden Girls' room together in a house in Miami and solve crazy crimes. That is the premise in this new fanfic homage to the popular 80's sitcom. During Rose's wedding planning for a relative, Dorothy's date for the event dies leading to a cozy mystery investigation.
