I have had the pleasure of reading previous books written by Kari Bovée in the past and was excited to know that she has a new series releasing called The Pryce of Murder. I was honored to have the chance to read the first book, The Pryce of Conceit: An Historical Ghost Cozy Mystery. I thought it was a fun and entertaining read. I found the main character of the newly widowed, Arabella Pryce, to be a wonderful character getting to know. I felt like I had travelled back in time to the 1880s era of the state of Colorado. That is where Arabella's world is turned upside down. The mystery and suspense had some twists I did not see coming. There were a few scenes that had me laughing out loud. I was honored to take this adventure with Arabella and going along with her to see how the "who done it" would be solved.
I am giving The Pryce of Conceit: An Historical Ghost Cozy Mystery five plus stars. I recommend it for readers who enjoy the combination of the genres of Historical Fiction, Paranormal, and Cozy Mysteries. I am eagerly awaiting or the next installment from The Pryce of Murder to see where Kari Bovée takes the series to next.
I received a paperback copy of The Pryce of Conceit: An Historical Ghost Cozy Mystery from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
