From New York Times best-selling author Elin Hilderbrand, comes a novel about the many ways family can fill our lives with love…if they don’t kill us first.

It’s wedding season on Nantucket. The beautiful island is overrun with summer people – an annual source of aggravation for year-round residents. And that’s not the only tension brewing offshore. When one lavish wedding ends in disaster before it can even begin – with the bride-to-be discovered dead in Nantucket Harbor just hours before the ceremony – everyone in the wedding party is suddenly a suspect. As Chief of Police Ed Kapenash digs into the best man, the maid of honor, the groom’s famous mystery novelist mother, and even a member of his own family, the chief discovers that every wedding is a minefield – and no couple is perfect.

Featuring beloved characters from The Castaways and A Summer Affair, The Perfect Couple proves once again that Elin Hilderbrand is the queen of the summer beach book.

I knew going in that it was going to be tamer than my usual crime read, leaning more towards contemporary drama, which it was, but I have to say it was a nice change of pace for me, and I really enjoyed it. The mystery plot, which I…

  3. In Most of “The Perfect Couple” I WISH My Own Writing Was Half this Good. Best Mystery You’ll Read this Summer… Think I’ll lead off this review with a quote explaining what one man mused to be a key difference between men and women:Men always want to be a woman’s first love – women like to be a man’s last romance – Oscar WildeDemakis, Joseph.

Other than the term rhyming with dam, I found no obscenities of any sort, even though there are references to affairs and romance,…
