Product Description
Product Description
A young widow, Callie Webber finds strength in her faith in God and joy in her growing romance with her wealthy employer, Tom. As a business investigator, Callie has the opportunity to present grants to nonprofit organizations through her job with the J.O.S.H.U.A. Foundation. Callies current assignment takes her to North Carolinas Smokey Mountains to research two charities serving migrant apple pickers. Tom is prepared to authorize a million-dollar grant, so its up to Callie to see which agency should receive the money or if it should be split between them. Callie goes undercover at both charities as a volunteer. While conducting her investigations, she discovers that the apple orchard sits atop an old sapphire mine--a mine that may still contain precious gems. A missing migrant worker apparently discovered a secret entrance to the mine and mysteriously disappeared the same day. Now Callie must find out if someone wanted to protect the mine badly enough to kill. Little time passes, however, before she realized she and her new migrant friends are in serious danger: The villain has made it clear he is willing to strike again. Callie puts her future with Tom in peril as she pursues leads that will either bring to light a heart of darkness or end her hope of happiness. Trusting in God, she forges steadily ahead through a mire of clues, believing His hand will hold hers along the way.

Can't I give this book more than 5 stars?,
By
This review is from: A Dime a Dozen (Paperback)
This is my 3rd Mindy Starns Clark book and the 3rd time I dropped everything to read a book. (The 1st time was with "Penny", during my 25th anniversary trip to Bermuda, which did not sit well with my husband). This is a great pass-along book; I have already passed "Penny" and "Nickels" along to my mother, an aunt, and a cousin. It's too bad Mindy doesn't write faster, although nothing would get done at my house - and I'm sure, at her home as well- I could read one of her books every day! We're all anxiously awaiting the next book of the series and especially looking forward to seeing Callie find happiness with Tom. My mother is a self-confessed romance novel addict (has read thousands of them) and I never thought I could get her to open a book of another genre. My own mystery experience has been more on the line of Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes. Buy it - Read it - Enjoy it - You'll love it! Thanks, Twnkls28

Dime a Dozen - Adventure Around Every Corner,
By Production Coordinator (Eugene OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Dime a Dozen (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. Every where you turned, there was another side to look at the investigation.This book made you really think. Yes there was a lot to keep track of, but that is what it made it so fascinating wondering what would come next.I have had a hard time putting her books down once I start them.

Worth the read?,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Dime a Dozen (Paperback)
I was disappointed in this book. I really enjoyed the first two books in this series. I feel Mindy Starns Clark got lost in this novel. There are just too many things happening. Things I was bored by and found farfetched. I found myself reading the last few pages to see if the book was worth finishing. I never read the end early! The end was good, but the rest of the book did little to hold my interest. I am, however, excited to see where the author will take this series. I feel the series concept is original. The mystery and faith woven in these books is something needed in Christian fiction.
