SYNOPSIS

In the rugged terrain of La Plata Springs, Colorado, 1886, stage actress Arabella Pryce is adjusting to her new role of hotelier in the sleepy mining town. But the quiet life she envisioned is shattered when her estranged mother arrives unexpectedly, leading a traveling theater troupe—and with her, a whirlwind of chaos and dark secrets.

As Arabella tries to navigate the difficult relationship with her mother, the troupe begins to unravel at the seams, plagued by bitter rivalries and forbidden affairs. The drama intensifies as the troupe’s leading man is mysteriously murdered, with all evidence pointing to Arabella’s mother as the killer. Thrust into the role of both hotelier and detective, Arabella must solve the killings to protect her future and the safety of the troupe.

Haunted by ghostly whispers in the night and the specter of her past, Arabella finds herself tangled in a web of deceit and betrayal. With each clue she uncovers, the list of suspects grows, pulling her deeper into the dangerous undercurrents of small-town politics and backstabbing theater artists.
As tensions mount and Arabella gets closer to the truth, she must use all her wits and courage to catch the killer lurking in the shadows. Will her sleuthing lead her to the murderer, or will Arabella become the next victim in this high-stakes game of deadly ambitions?

Dive into “The Pryce of Ambition,” where murder, mystery, and the ghostly echoes of the past blend into a riveting tale of suspense and redemption.

REVIEW

I’m not a fan of ghostly characters, as they make me uncomfortable. 

I have enjoyed other books by Bovee, but this one wasn’t for me

I received this book free from the author, publisher, or other source. My only obligation is to provide a fair and honest review.
