A Miami Murder Mystery
Rose's cousin is eloping in Miami, and Rose is hosting a chaotic wedding week. She's struggling to balance the groom's snobby family with strict St. Olaf traditions. Meanwhile, Dorothy seeks a wedding-wise date through a VHS dating service, only to find her pick is a jerk.
The "Golden Girls" — Rose, Blanche, Sophia, and Dorothy — are neck-deep in wedding festivities. Rose's tea-and-fish kickoff event is flawless until Dorothy's awful date is found dead, face-down in cheesecake.
With every guest a suspect, especially Dorothy, the Girls must unmask the killer, ensure the couple ties the knot, and keep everyone from St. Olaf safe in Miami. It's up to these four best friends to ensure love prevails!
