From The Five-Star Weekend authorElin Hilderbrand comes a novel about the many ways family can fill our lives with love...if they don't kill us first.
“a quintessential summer read” —People
It's Nantucket wedding season, also known as summer-the sight of a bride racing down Main Street is as common as the sun setting at Madaket Beach. The Otis-Winbury wedding promises to be an event to remember: the groom's wealthy parents have spared no expense to host a lavish ceremony at their oceanfront estate.
But it's going to be memorable for all the wrong reasons after tragedy strikes: a body is discovered in Nantucket Harbor just hours before the ceremony-and everyone in the wedding party is suddenly a suspect. As Chief of Police Ed Kapenash interviews the bride, the groom, the groom's famous mystery-novelist mother, and even a member of his own family, he discovers that every wedding is a minefield-and no couple is perfect. Featuring beloved characters from The Castaways, Beautiful Day, and A Summer Affair, The Perfect Couple proves once again that Elin Hilderbrand is the queen of the summer beach read.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Like many of her 20 previous novels, Elin Hilderbrand’s outrageously entertaining The Perfect Couple is set on the bewitching coastal paradise of Nantucket. A character in its own right, the island serves as a stunning backdrop for a wedding weekend murder mystery. Both longtime Hilderbrand readers and new fans will revel in her sharp observations and her signature brand of deliciously soapy romance that packs a genuine emotional punch.

The perfect couple
Great book until the last chapter. Didn’t feel the ending was enough. What about Celeste’s parents? Does Celeste end up with shooter?
Unexpected
After reading every one of her previously wonderful books, I found Elin Hilderbrand’s “The Perfect Couple” to be a disappointment. The plot is basically a murder mystery, and although the time line switchs back and forth, my biggest concern was the large number of main characters. I felt, as a result, few of them were fully developed; therefore I was not completely invested in them.
The mystery itself continually held my interest, although I personally found the resolution somewhat flat and disappointing.
I highly anticipate Ms. Hilderbrand’s next release this fall, as I’m sure all of her avid readers are.
Good read
I loved it! I’m just getting back to reading and I ended up picking a great book that got me wanting to read so much more..
