River road (2014) by Jayne Ann Krentz

Thirteen years after a wild high school party, Lucy returns to her home in Summer River (can you believe this name?) to dispose of her aunt's estate.  She finds a body buried under fireplace tiles which leads to a murder investigation. A hedge fund and winery are also involved, as are several sketchy characters who had attended the party years ago. Mason, an ex-cop, who now has a surveillance business helps Lucy with the investigation.  The chemistry between him and Lucy beomes obvious to one another as they try to solve the mystery.  Watch out for Becky, the wine maker.

Mediocre but Krentz writes well enough to allow the reader to pass the time pleasantly.
