But when the town's wealthy undertaker dies, his estranged daughter must contend with the ghosts that haunt her own family . . . After she left home at seventeen, River Gold swore she would never return to Gold Creek. Growing up at the Gold Funeral Home and Memorial Gardens was a nightmare. Classmates constantly teased her for being part of the ';Ghoul' family, while her own family denied that she was actually a Gold. Her father, undertaker Gregory Gold, certainly never acted like a father. He was far more interested in profiting off other people's tragedies. But now Gregory has died. And River has surrendered to the pleas of her mother, Fiona, that she come back for his funeral. But the mourning period is cut short when it's revealed that Gregory died of poisoningand Fiona is the number one suspect in his murder.
