1886, La Plata Springs, Colorado. Arabella Pryce is still finding her footing in her rugged new hometown. With her estranged mother arriving unexpectedly amid a traveling theater troupe, Arabella’s inherited hotel becomes the stage for more than financial woes.

Determined to help the local sheriff, Arabella follows ghostly hints from a new apparition, uncovering hidden secrets, ambition, and betrayal that are shaking her world.
With each new death, the stakes get higher. She must think on her feet to uncover the truth before the killer makes their final move.
Step into the spotlight with The Pryce of Ambition, the thrilling fourth installment in The Pryce of Murder series. Uncover the mystery behind the masquerade.

When she’s not on a horse, or walking along the beautiful cottonwood-laden acequias of Corrales, New Mexico; or basking on white sand beaches under the Big Island Hawaiian sun, Kari Bovée is escaping into the past—scheming murder and mayhem for her characters both real and imagined in her award-winning historical Annie Oakley Mystery series, Grace Michelle Mysteries and The Pryce of Murder series. Born in northern New Mexico, Kari developed a love of reading, writing, and history early in life. Her most treasured Christmas gift as a young child was a toy typewriter. After graduating with a B.A. in English Literature with an emphasis in Creative Writing, Kari found work as a technical writer at a Fortune 500 tech company. But, her love of story-telling never waned. While staying at home with two young children, Kari wrote her first novel and hasn’t stopped. She and her husband live happily in rural Corrales, New Mexico with their horses, dogs, and cat.
