The Last Drip

A Small Town Coffee Cozy Mystery

Three years after opening Bagels & Beans, Sarah Stall has built more than a successful café—she's built a family. As Clancy transforms into a winter wonderland for its Holiday Market, Sarah is ready for nothing more complicated than peppermint mochas, cinnamon sugar bagels, and whatever surprise her boyfriend Adam has been hinting at all week. But when the market's charming organizer is found dead behind her booth, tangled in electrical cords with burn marks on his hands, Sarah finds herself caught up in her sixth murder investigation—and this one feels personal.

Victor Crane made enemies the way other people made small talk. His assistant lived in fear of him. His ex-wife lost everything because of him. A local electrician's reputation was destroyed by him. And one desperate vendor discovered that Victor had been sabotaging her livelihood for years. As Sarah digs into the secrets simmering beneath the holiday cheer, she uncovers a web of financial fraud, professional vendettas, and carefully hidden rage. Someone in Clancy decided Victor Crane had ruined his last life—and they were willing to kill to make sure of it.

In this heartwarming conclusion to the Bean There, Done That Mysteries, Sarah Stall solves her most dangerous case yet while discovering that the greatest gift isn't catching killers—it's the community she's built, one cup of coffee at a time. Fans of cozy mysteries filled with small-town charm, loyal friends, and a lovable dog named Bean will savor every page of this satisfying series finale.
