About this listen

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!

Editorial Review

The card attached would say, thank you for being this audiobook
One of the best surprises of my life was meeting Rue McClanahan, in big sunglasses and twirling a pink parasol, at a Brooklyn dog show in the early 2000s. A close second was more recently, when I learned there was going to be a Golden Girls cozy mystery. The GASP that I gasped! Reader, Murder by Cheesecake is the real deal. It takes guts and serious talent to write jokes worthy of Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia, and author Rachel Ekstrom Courage has the goods. She nails the voices, character nuances and humour of our beloved foursome, who are hosting a Miami wedding for Rose’s cousin, prompting Dorothy to try a video dating service. But her Prince Charming turns out to be Mr. Obnoxious, and when he’s found dead in a hotel freezer, Dorothy is suspect #1—though no guest can be ruled out. Narrator Frieda Claxton is the cherry on top of this scrumptious, hilarious, heartwarming and feisty cheesecake. —Kat J., Audible Editor

I’m a huge fan of The Golden Girls—the show is my comfort zone and my go-to whenever I need a pick-me-up. So when I found out there was a Golden Girls murder mystery? Absolute perfection! Listening to this on Audible felt like I was getting a bonus episode of the show. The narrator nails the voices—especially Sophia, who was spot on! The St. Olaf accent was a little off, but honestly, that’s a tiny gripe in an otherwise flawless performance. I truly hope this turns into a whole series. Highly recommend to any fellow Golden Girls fans!
