Review: 'Golden Girls' inspired 'cozy mystery' is no comedy, but still a nostalgic nugget
Briefly

The article discusses the enduring popularity of "The Golden Girls" and its recent literary tie-in, "Murder By Cheesecake: A Golden Girls Cozy Mystery." It centers on a storyline where Dorothy is implicated in the murder of a man she dated, occurring in the chaotic lead-up to a wedding planned by Rose. While maintaining some humor reminiscent of the original series, the book leans more towards a blend of mystery and drama rather than classic sitcom rhythms, showcasing the characters as they attempt to clear Dorothy’s name while engaging in amateur sleuthing.
It's the hotel where Rose is days away from staging a giant wedding for relatives from her often-mentioned hometown of St. Olaf, Minn. The homicide, of course, throws everything into disarray.
Because Dorothy was the last person to see the man - who had jilted her mid-date - she becomes suspect No. 1 with Miami police. Meanwhile, Rose is trying to keep the nuptials of her younger cousin and her fiancé on track.
