Sympathy for the Devil's Advocate
Tidewater Funeral Home, Caldmere
Someone has been leaving nasty little notes at Tidewater Funeral Home's supplier entrance — and the new florist who fills their sympathy arrangements is starting to feel very unwelcome in Caldmere.
Everyone has something to hide.
76. Nate's mother. Ran Tidewater for 20 years before he took over. Frank, unsentimental, wryly funny. Says exactly what she thinks and has reached the age where no one can stop her.
Liang's star pupil and the department's unofficial fixer. Smart, ambitious, and increasingly aware that her mentor isn't who she thought he was.
48. Fourth-generation Driscoll funeral director. Has personally handled over a thousand funerals. Calm, empathetic, precise. Carries the specific loneliness of being the person everyone needs and no one wants to see.
