About the author
Sherryl Woods
555 books4,525 followersWith two other careers to her credit before becoming a novelist and four states in which she's lived for extended periods of time, Sherryl Woods has collected friends and memories, along with way too much unnecessary junk.
"The friends are the only things I've brought with me through the years that really matter," she says. "I could probably live without one more chintz teacup, another tin-litho sandpail or another snowglobe, but I need those friends."
The theme of enduring friendships and families is always central to Sherryl's books, including her latest Chesapeake Shores series — THE INN AT EAGLE POINT, FLOWERS ON MAIN and HARBOR LIGHTS.
Author of more than 100 romance and mystery novels, Sherryl Woods grew up in Virginia. Over the years she had lived in Ohio and Florida, as well as California. Currently she divides her time between Key Biscayne, Florida and Colonial Beach, Virginia, the small, river-front town where she spent her childhood summers.
A graduate of Ohio State University School of Journalism, Sherryl spent more than ten years as a journalist, most of them as a television critic for newspapers in Ohio and Florida. For several years she also coordinated a motivational program for the more than 8,000 employees at the University of Miami-Jackson Memorial Medical Center.
Her first book, RESTORING LOVE, was published in 1982 by Dell Candlelight Ecstasy under the pseudonym of Suzanne Sherrill. Her second book, SAND CASTLES, under the pseudonym of Alexandra Kirk, was published later that same year by Bantam. She began using her own name when she moved to the Second Chance at Love line at Berkley Publishing. In 1986, she began writing full-time and also began her long career at Silhouette Books with the Desire title NOT AT EIGHT, DARLING, set in the world of television which she covered for so many years.
In addition to her more than 75 romances for Silhouette Desire and Special Edition, she has written thirteen mysteries — nine in the Amanda Roberts series and four in the Molly DeWitt series.
When she's not writing or reading, Sherryl loves to garden, though she's not at her best on a riding lawn mower. She also loves tennis, theater, and ballet, even though her top spin has long since vanished, she's never set foot on a stage, and she's way too uncoordinated to dance. She also loves baseball and claims anyone who's ever seen Kevin Costner in "Bull Durham" can understand why.

Cute short story with an interesting mystery. Originally published in 1993, it has the feel of a "Murder She Wrote" adventure.

Woods, Sherryl - 3rd in series
Molly and Michael attend a glitzy environmental fund-raiser at the insistence of her friend Liza, who has helped organize the event. When the two sneak away from the party to dangle their feet off a dock, they discover the dead body of Tessa Lafferty--the wealthy socialite chairing the event--bobbing in the water. As they investigate, they discover that Tessa was not too discriminating about her sexual partners and, appearances to the contrary, not very politically correct.
Still a fun book, but weaker than the first two.

i won this book as well as the others of this series from writerspace.com so thanks to them. but i have to say again i wasnt really thrilled at all buy this book. in my opinion the first of this series was the most interesting. maybe im tired of the same kind of book? im not sure. still hoping the next book has more in store for molly and michael.. in a relationship aspect. and if i was molly id seriously think i was a jinx or something by being around all these murders.. yikes!

Book three of the series. This one is a little more involved with the murder mystery. The storyline is interesting. The reader is introduced to high society and fund raising. Our female lead in head strong when it comes to finding out who done it and the interaction between her and the male lead character is once again interesting.

Typical Sherryl Woods romantic mystery. #2 in the series, but can be read alone. The slow burn of the romance is fun to read. The story could be an episode of a lighter police procedural. Easy, fluffy, fun, but nothing to make it stand out from the pack.

Slow read, predictable.
