A historical paranormal cozy mystery set in 1885 Colorado featuring a frontier hotel, theatrical drama, and a sarcastic ghost with excellent timing.

The show must go on. But someone just killed the leading man.

La Plata Springs, Colorado, 1886. Arabella Pryce is still adjusting to life as the owner of the Arabella Hotel.

Just when things begin to settle down, a traveling theater troupe arrives in town—along with Arabella’s estranged mother, who just happens to be running the show.

Then the troupe’s leading actor is found shot dead in the warehouse theater.

Unfortunately, the evidence points straight at Arabella’s mother.

Sheriff Clayton Marshall isn’t convinced the case is so simple. Neither is Arabella.

But Arabella doesn’t have to investigate alone. She has the hotel’s resident ghost, Percival—occasionally sarcastic, frequently opinionated, and surprisingly helpful.

The problem is, the killer isn’t ready for the final curtain yet.

The Pryce of Ambition is Book 4 in the Pryce of Murder series, where backstage rivalries, theatrical drama, and a determined amateur sleuth collide. A must-read for fans of Deanna Raybourn, Rhys Bowen, and Bobbi Holmes.
