Summary: A couple’s gender reveal party turns deadly and everyone is a suspect in this gripping thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of The Overnight Guest.
Is it a boy or a girl? They would die to know…
Madeline and Wes Drake have invited two hundred of their closest friends and family to their sprawling horse ranch for the most anticipated event of the year: a “pistols and pearls” gender reveal party so sensational it is sure to make headlines. But the party descends into chaos when the celebratory explosive misfires, leaving one woman dead and a trail of secrets.
As the aftershocks of the bloody party ripple across the small town, Agent Jamie Saldano is brought on the scene to investigate.

As the shadow of a killer looms, the happy parents-to-be must unravel the truth before it’s too late.
Traveling With T’s Thoughts:
I was really excited when I heard about this book and it did not disappoint. Man, was it filled with secrets like crazy.
Gender reveals have def gotten into the category of ridiculous with how over the top they have gotten and boy, did Heather Gudenkauf really delve into that topic!
What I liked:
The cover was great!
How many secrets there were in this book. I love a good story filled with secrets.
The dynamic between Madeline and Lucy. I loved these 2 characters SO much. While they weren’t technically sisters, their relationship as stepsisters worked with the story.
Bottom line: Come for the gender reveal, stay for all the delicious secrets that get revealed in the aftermath.
