Last Call at the Savoy
Six years ago, Cinnamon Scott was a young writer on the rise in New York City. But since the sudden loss of her parents, she’s been stuck in place, retreating to a life of endless partying—made possible by the massive fortune she’s inherited. Despite their tragic loss, she and her older sister Rosemary have always had each other to lean on. But now, with Rosie living in London and about to give birth to twins, Cinnamon feels more lost than ever.
When Rosie is put on bedrest, Cinnamon flies to her sister’s side, where she’s temporarily living at The Savoy. Immediately swept away by the beauty and history of the legendary hotel and its famed American Bar, Cinnamon finds ample opportunity to distract herself. When the late shift bartender tells her the story of Ada Coleman, the woman who crafted the cocktail recipes The Savoy popularized in its famous handbook a century ago, Cinnamon is inspired by the bartender’s vivid stories of Ada’s fearlessness and can’t understand why Ada’s name is nowhere to be found.
After meeting a handsome historian researching the hotel and realizing that Ada is likely to be once again overlooked, Cinnamon must decide if she can overcome her demons and stand up for Ada’s story. And, along the way, she might just save her own story too.

“Last Call At the Savoy is about women taking a rightful place in history. Lush and three-dimensional and relevant to ladies today who still fight to be seen. Lift a cocktail to this debut!”
—Jodi Picoult, #1 Bestselling Author
“Carleton beautifully pairs a lush, sophisticated setting with a heroine who is hilarious, complicated, and an absolute delight. I only wish I could’ve jumped into the story to join Cinnamon on her quest to uncover the truth behind the mysterious female bartender who ruled the Savoy’s watering hole during its heyday. Brimming with romance and fueled by cocktails and calamity, this is an exhilarating, tender read that will leave you smiling.”
—Fiona Davis, NY Times Bestselling Author
“With sparkling wit and a fearless heart, Carleton invites us into the storied halls of The Savoy for a tale that is equal parts history, mystery and emotional reckoning. Last Call at The Savoy asks us to reconsider the stories we’ve been told — and the ones we tell ourselves — as Cinnamon Scott uncovers a forgotten woman’s legacy. Carleton writes with the intimacy of a dear friend, reminding us to be brave, to confront the truths we’ve long avoided, and to dare to live the life we’re called to. This page-turning novel is a toast to the power of women, memory, and the voices that history tries to silence.”
—Patty Callahan Henry, Bestselling Author
“Blissfully charming! Last Call at the Savoy is at once as decadent as its setting and as incisive as the forgotten history it uncovers. Like Cinnamon herself, a wryly frothy voice makes the story’s deceptive depths all the more surprising. This debut novel from Brisa Carleton went down like the smoothest martini.”
—Julia Whelan, Award Winning Audiobook Narrator
“An irresistible novel about second chances, Brisa Carleton’s sparkling debut is a gripping look at the bonds of sisters, the power of finding home and the courage of following your heart, no matter how hard it may be.”
—Brooke Lea Foster, Bestselling Author
