About the Book:
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!

I love this kit and I can't wait to share it with my book group. I think the bookmarks are a geat idea and I will definitely make some for everyone. I also really like the cocktail and food recipes which again, I will make. I love how this kit is very immersive and will definitely get people talking even before we discuss the book.

I download these adorable book club kits anytime that I see a new one - they are always so fun and I set them aside for future book club ideas and meetings!

I love that in the intro there is a link that takes you straight to the Storygraph website to see tags and different content notes for the book. I know not everyone uses the same platforms for book tracking but it's a great link for those who do and it's still visible to those without an account.

My favorite things I consistently see in the book club discussion kits are the recipes and bookmarks. I have these saved from quite a few and they're so easy to recreate and the bookmarks are easy to print on a nice heavy paper!

The minute mystery idea was SO fun as well! A great conversation topic and way to incorporate an on theme activity. :)

Another adorable book club kit, thank you!

You will always catch me downloading a book club kit! They enhance your reading experience and it’s perfect for either solo or group reading. This has some fun things like printable bookmarks, food and beverage recipes. It also has author questions and information. I love looking at these when I find a new to me author. This also has discussion questions that you can use with your own book club.

I'm always excited to see when new book club kits are available. This book club kit was well thought out and put together. It includes an author interview and questions, activities (which Golden Girl are you?), bookmarks, drink recipes (both alcoholic and nonalcoholic), and the famed cheesecake recipe from the book, to make the book club meeting a full fledged event! I appreciated that it included information on the author, other books by her/the publisher, and suggestions for books to read if you enjoyed this one. This would be a great kit for someone wanting to change up a book club meeting.
