Publisher's summary

Someone’s trying to frame this ambitious theater performer for murder. Can she get back to her adoring public and escape the noose?

1885. Arabella Pryce is struggling with heartbreak. And with her recently deceased husband’s will demanding she leave her celebrity behind and refurbish her namesake hotel in Colorado, the distressed actress is forced to board a westbound train. But she’s barely arrived at the haunted, broken-down lodge when the town beauty shows up dead in one of the rooms… and Arabella is named the prime suspect.

Already feeling the sting of the community’s disapproval, she grits her teeth and works with a mischievous cryptic ghost to help prove her innocence. But with blood-stained evidence, handsome sheriffs, and libelous journalists turning her investigation into a dangerous drama, this determined thespian fears she’s missed her cue for survival.

Can she shine the spotlight on a killer before more than her reputation dies a horrible death?

The Pryce of Conceit is the suspenseful first book in The Pryce of Murder historical cozy mystery series. If you like driven heroines, atmospheric settings, and dashes of humor, then you’ll love Kari Bovée’s lighthearted twists and turns.

Join Arabella in The Pryce of Conceit to put the guilty party at center stage today!

Virtual voice

I enjoyed the storyline. However, I almost gve up after chapter one. I hate the virtual voice narration!
There is no distinction between characters. Ther is no emotion from the voice. Also, I noticed many mispronounced words such as “bugler” for burglar; “plums” for plumes”. Unfortunately there many more. Granted, these are examples from another book narrated by virtual voice. Please. go back to humans. Narration is key to njoying an audio book.
