Tidewater Funeral Home, Caldmere
A grief counselor visiting Tidewater Funeral Home for a professional consultation ends up the victim of an elaborate impersonation scheme — and the damage is financial, personal, and ongoing.
Everyone has something to hide.

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.

The most talented performer in Caldmere and she knows it. Charismatic, competitive, insecure beneath the bravado. Funny in a way that occasionally draws blood.

A French-Canadian transplant who came to Caldmere for the seafood. An extraordinary chef, a terrible businessman. His food is transcendent. His management style is volcanic.
