An Atlanta ex-cop comes to sleepy Lake Sackett, Georgia,
seeking peace and quiet—but he hasn’t bargained on falling
for Frankie, the cutest coroner he’s ever met.
Frankie McCready talks to dead people. Not like a ghost
whisperer or anything—but it seems rude to embalm them and
not at least say hello.
Fortunately, at the McCready Family Funeral Home & Bait
Shop, Frankie’s eccentricities fit right in. Lake Sackett’s
embalmer and county coroner, Frankie’s goth styling and
passion for nerd culture mean she’s not your typical
Southern girl, but the McCreadys are hardly your typical
Southern family. Led by Great-Aunt Tootie, the gambling,
boozing, dog-collecting matriarch of the family, everyone
looks out for one another—which usually means getting up in
everyone else’s business.
Maybe that’s why Frankie is so fascinated by new sheriff
Eric Linden...a recent transplant from Atlanta, he sees a
homicide in every hunting accident or boat crash, which
seems a little paranoid for this sleepy tourist town. What’s
he so worried about? And what kind of cop can get a job with
the Atlanta PD but can’t stand to look at a dead body?
Frankie has other questions that need answering
first—namely, who’s behind the recent break-in attempts at
the funeral home, and how can she stop them? This one really
does seem like a job for the sheriff—and as Frankie and Eric
do their best Scooby-Doo impressions to catch their man,
they get closer to spilling some secrets they thought were
buried forever.
