Honey by Victor Lodato. 

Kirkus Review says,  

"A mobster’s daughter has finally returned, in her 80s, to the family’s New Jersey home, and she knows where the bodies are buried—literally.” 

"Honey Fasinga, originally Ilaria Fazzinga, has spent a lifetime distancing herself from her Italian roots. To dodge expectations and bury memories of the brutalities she witnessed while living under the roof of her father, the Great Pietro—whom she loved, hated, and feared—she went to college, studied art, and spent decades living in Los Angeles, working at a prestigious auction house. But now she’s back with a sense of unfinished business, reconnecting, remembering, and trying to resolve the gap between her assured adult self and her violent childhood."
