Many thanks to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing | Park Row for gifting me a digital ARC of this thriller by Heather Gudenkauf. All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 4.5 stars!
Madeline wasn't thrilled about having a huge event for the gender reveal of her baby, but her husband, Wes, insisted. But the party at their ranch descends into chaos when the celebratory explosive misfires, leaving one woman dead and a trail of secrets. ATF Agent Jamie Saldano is brought on the scene to investigate. Battling his own demons from the past, Saldano unearths a web of deceit spun around the Drakes. The appearance of some unexpected houseguests only deepens the mystery. And as tensions mount, it becomes clear that the explosion wasn’t just an unlucky accident. But who was the target, and why?
I love a good messy family drama, and this one had it in spades. That beginning scene felt so real and emotional, especially for Madeline. Jamie was another fascinating character, returning to the area where his life was torn apart. Plus, when money is involved, things always get messy. It's a tense, locked-room type mystery, and I was second guessing everyone. There are multiple mysteries and questions to be answered, and we are privy to multiple points of view. I couldn't put it down!
