The Pryce of Greed

The Pryce of Murder Book 3

Enjoy this historical paranormal cozy mystery featuring a reluctant hotel owner, a chaotic winter festival, and one very observant ghost.

A winter festival is meant to bring a town together. In La Plata Springs, it brings murder.

La Plata Springs, Colorado, 1885. Arabella Pryce has almost grown used to life as the reluctant owner of the Arabella Hotel. Unfortunately, the town’s Winter Festival—an obligation buried deep in her late husband’s will—means she’s suddenly responsible for hosting half the town.

Arabella expects music, dancing, and plenty of gossip.

She doesn’t expect one of the festival’s most prominent guests to plunge from a second-story window.

When it turns out the victim was poisoned before the fall, the celebration quickly becomes a scandal. Influential families start blaming one another, and the reputation of the Arabella Hotel hangs in the balance.

Sheriff Clayton Marshall insists the investigation is under control. Arabella isn’t entirely convinced.

With Percival Blank—the hotel’s sharp-tongued resident ghost—offering a few well-timed observations, Arabella starts digging for the truth.

However, whoever committed the murder doesn’t intend to let those secrets come to light.

The Pryce of Greed is Book 3 in the Pryce of Murder historical paranormal cozy mystery series, perfect for readers who enjoy clever amateur sleuths, small-town intrigue, and ghostly companions in the tradition of Deanna Raybourn, Rhys Bowen, and Bobbi Holmes.
