I got a new kindle for Christmas from my son and this was my first purchase on it, partly due to the fact I'm familiar with the area where Mary Vine centered Maya's Gold. I really enjoyed it and she did a great job describing the surroundings and building her characters. Her story was very believeable and enjoyable.

I really enjoyed this book. The diacription of the characters were great. I could visualize each one in my mind while I was reading. It was hard to put the book down because there was always something happening on the next page that was interesting and exciting.
The location where the story took place was right on the money. It made you feel like you were there looking at the old towns and seeing them the way they use to be.
It is a great book for anyone that enjoys history, susupense, mystery and a little love story.

A very good read. If you want a feel of the west today don't fail to own this book.

Maya's Gold is a delightful romantic mystery, with all the right ingredients for an engrossing reading experience. Her eye for detail and character are spot-on, and the dialogue consistently rings true. She's especially good at describing the Pacific Northwest setting, which plays an important part in the plot. Her attention to setting in particular reminded me of a novel set on the opposite coast, but no less well-drawn: Egrets to the Flames by Barbara Anton. Both highly enjoyable reads!
