Murder by Cheesecake

About the book

When Dorothy's detestable date is discovered deceased inside a hotel freezer, it not only destroys a delectable cheesecake but also jeopardizes the elaborate St. Olaf-themed wedding that Rose is organizing.

The tension is mounting, and not just due to Blanche's hot flashes. Rose's cousin is eloping to Miami, and Rose is acting as the host. If she can't navigate the groom's family's snootiness with the traditional St. Olaf wedding week customs, her hometown may never forgive her cousin!

Dorothy swiftly recognizes the necessity for a wedding-related banter partner. Opting for a modern VHS dating service, she believes she has stumbled upon the perfect conversationalist. Regrettably, what seems promising on screen can turn out to be a complete jerk in reality. It appears that she will have to rely on the company of Sophia, Blanche, and whoever catches Blanche's eye for a romantic liaison.

As the group bands together, Rose is elated that the tea-and-fish-themed kick-off event goes off without a hitch, with not a single misplaced herring. That is, until Dorothy's date is discovered deceased with his face planted in a tantalizing cheesecake. With every guest under suspicion (especially Dorothy) and a marriage hanging in the balance, the four friends must pinpoint the true culprit, ensure the soon-to-be-married couple walks down the aisle, and guarantee that no one from St. Olaf wanders off in the Miami chaos. It's up to the Golden Girls to piece together a plan for friendship and love to triumph in the end!
