Enjoy this historical paranormal cozy mystery featuring a frontier hotel, a determined amateur sleuth, and a highly opinionated ghost.

The Cultural and Historic Festival brings scholars, artifacts… and one very inconvenient murder.

La Plata Springs, Colorado, 1886. Arabella Pryce is nearing the end of the year she promised to manage the Arabella Hotel. Soon she can return to New York and the glamorous life she left behind.

All she has to do is survive a few more weeks.

Then the town’s Cultural and Historic Festival arrives.

With visiting historians, heated debates over sacred artifacts, and half the town arguing about the past, the festival is already lively.

Until one of the guest scholars is found dead in his hotel suite.

Sheriff Clayton Marshall is determined to keep the investigation under control while the town argues about artifacts and academic rivalries.

Arabella, however, is surrounded by visiting historians, priceless relics, and far too many suspicious guests to ignore what’s happening in her own hotel—particularly with Percival Blank, the hotel’s most permanent former guest and a ghost with a talent for commentary, watching the festival guests closely.

Between feuding scholars, buried grudges, and a legendary artifact at the center of the controversy, Arabella soon realizes the murder is tied to secrets someone at the festival is desperate to keep hidden.

The Pryce of Pride is Book 5 in the Pryce of Murder historical paranormal cozy mystery series, filled with festival intrigue, stubborn suspects, and Arabella Pryce’s signature brand of determined sleuthing. Perfect for readers who enjoy Deanna Raybourn, Rhys Bowen, and Bobbi Holmes.
