About the author
Sherryl Woods
555 books4,524 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.

Hot Schemes was the best of the Molly DeWitt mysteries because it dealt with the Miami-Cuban community, an unique situation.

This was my 3rd and 4th book that ive read of Sherryl's and I loved the mystery and suspense feel of it. So different from Seaview Inn and Chesapeake Shores Series!!
I'm glad in the end they caught the killers and the family of the victim got justice!!
I will definitely be reading more by Sherryl in the future!!

Molly continues to find dead bodies or trouble!
Once at a gala fundraiser, the other time at the pier, where Michael is nearly blown up. In both, Molly and Michael work together to figure out who did what and why. The mysteries do not have easy answers and there are many twists and turns to each storyline.
The pace is fast and the tone is uncertain yet hopeful with a character oriented storyline that has some action and no details, but just a suggestion of lovemaking. The characters are vibrant and engaging. This volume contains books 3 and 4, so read Tropical Blues (books 1 and 2) before this. These are great in-depth, cozy mysteries by a very popular woman's fiction or romance author. Enjoy!
