Using her investigative skills, Callie throws herself into the most important mystery she has ever attempted to solve. As she heads to Louisiana to answer questions surrounding her husband's death, will the answers Callie seeks put an end to her relationship with Tom—or will she find what she needs to know in order to move forward and begin the next great adventure of her life?
This is the final book of the Million Dollar Mysteries Series. I really enjoyed this series, it is one I couldn't put down until I was finished reading it.

A Quarter for a Kiss (Mindy Starns Clark)


It's April, spring is in the air, and Callie and Tom have just spent a wonderful few weeks getting to know each another after years of a telephone-only relationship. But as their time together draws to a close, they are called to the hospital bed of mutual friend Eli Gold, who has just been shot. Eli begs Callie and Tom to find out who is responsible for the shooting. The search leads them to the beautiful island of St. John in the Virgin Islands. There they face a sinister enemy among the ruins of an old sugar plantation—an enemy who's willing to do anything to keep his identity secret and the past deeply buried.
I am enjoying this series. This book ended with a question, so now I need to find the final book in the series.

A Dime a Dozen (Mindy Starns Clark)

A Dime A Dozen takes Callie to the Smokey Mountains of North Carolina, to give away a million dollars to a pair of charities that serve migrant apple pickers. When one of the migrant workers turns up dead, however, it's up to Callie to find out who killed him and why—even as the killer targets Callie as the next victim!

The first book of the series introduces sleuth Callie Webber, a private investigator and attorney who works for a mysterious philanthropist named Tom.

In A Penny for Your Thoughts, Tom sends Callie to Philadelphia to deliver a grant to an old friend of his. But before Callie can even hand over the money, she's face to face with a dead body—and a lot of unanswered questions!
