Ordinary Justice by Trudy Labovitz

This debut novel introduces Zoe Kergulin,a private investigator on the run from her past. Zoe fled Washington, D.C. for the picturesque solitude of the West Virginia Mountains. Here, in a small town whose sole claim to fame is that the local 'ordinary', or inn, was a stop on the legendary Underground Railroad during the U.S. Civil War, Zoe hopes to rebuild her life. When a neighbor woman disappears and is presumed murdered by her abusive husband, Zoe unravels the mystery as she discovers a close-knit community of rural folk whose members hide secrets of their own – from the illicit production of moonshine to hunting out of season to domestic violence.
