Murder by Cheesecake by Rachel Ekstrom CourageMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Murder during a St. Olaf Wedding that Rose is hosting? Perfection.
I flew through this book the moment it arrived on my Libby. It was really funny, had that old Golden Girls charm that we all know and love, and I crackled greatly at the many St. Olaf stories that Rose has told from the show, from Mean Old Lady Hickenlooper to the Headless Boy to everything in between. I thought-no, I feared. Greatly. That I wouldn't like this book. A Golden Girls Cozy Mystery? Nah, I wouldn't like it.
But the more I read it, the more I found that I really enjoyed myself. I wanted to read more of the Girls going throughgh everything they could to figure out why poor Dorothy's date had fallen dead on one of Rose's perfect cheesecakes. I felt like I was right there with them when they discovered it, and then going through the whole mystery of who killed the guy and what led to his death. From going to Wolfie's, dealing with Rose's family from St. Olaf that came to Miami for the wedding, to the funny ending, this was a book I really fun time and I really need everyone to read it.
In fact, I think it was this book that made me do my 30th rewatch of the Golden Girls because it was that funny, made me worry about the girls as they figure out who killed Dorothy's date, and also who put him in the freezer, face down onto Rose's cheesecakes.
I wanted to eat a cheesecake after reading this book. Alas...I didn't get a chance to. But one day I will.
Loved, loved, loved this book so much.
