This is not the best murder mystery novel but if you Love the Golden Girls and are willing to look past everything else it was a fun book to read.
The writing style was not the best as the author described actions like Dorothy did this and rose did that. It was hard to get into this style of writing. Once you get past that there are things to like. The camaraderie and spirit of the show comes across in this story nicely. It was fun to hear about the St Olaf wedding traditions and get to meet more of Rose’s family although the traditions were a bit much at times.
The murder part of the book is treated like more of a pesky annoyance in the book then part of the main plot. I do enjoy cozy murder mysteries, as much as murder can be cozy, and this book will not scratch that itch. I enjoyed what little time the girls spent investigating and trying to solve the murder but the lead up to the wedding took a lot of time way from the investigation.
I would probably read another of these books simply because I like the Golden Girls but there were parts of the book I genuinely enjoyed. If you are looking for a light read and something nostalgic this can be a good book.
