Trust No One by Jayne Ann Krentz

5.0

Grace Elland goes to check on her boss, Sprague Witherspoon, when he doesn’t show up for work and finds him very dead. At the Seattle crime scene is a telltale bottle of vodka, same as Grace found at another crime scene years ago, triggering a fresh round of nightmares. With Sprague dead, his motivational seminar business closes, and Grace is out of a job. She retreats to her family’s lake house at Cloud Lake to lick her wounds.

An old friend fixes her up with on a blind date with venture capitalist Julius Arkwright to take her mind off her troubles, but it seems she can’t get away from Sprague’s death. The friend’s husband, the new police chief, is using Julius to make sure Grace isn’t a threat to his wife or to his community. Julius is divorced and not expecting to hit it off with Grace, but there’s something about her that fascinates him. He shares with her his number one rule: trust no one.

Worried about her future, Grace asks Julius to help her develop a business plan, and this time, they are united in a common goal, along with trying to solve Sprague’s murder.

Another stellar entry by Jayne Ann Krentz. Loved it.
