Thirty-eight years behind the bar. One final toast. A killer hiding in plain sight.

When beloved tavern owner Bill Sorensen finally retires after nearly four decades running Maple Hollow's favorite waterfront watering hole, the whole town turns out to celebrate. Café owner Clara Whiskerton expects nothing more complicated than warm nostalgia and a well-earned send-off — until Bill collapses moments after drinking a specially prepared cocktail, and never wakes up.

What looks like a simple dispute over the sale price hides something far more calculated: a secret million-dollar deal that would erase Bill's life's work entirely, and a buyer running out of time to close it. With a wrongly suspected herb farmer's reputation on the line and warnings appearing at her own café door, Clara has to untangle a web of quiet deception before Bill's killer walks away with everything he built.

Last Call for Catnip is Book 7 in the Maple Hollow Mysteries, a clean, cozy series full of small-town charm, a lovable tabby cat, and a murder to solve before the coffee gets cold.
