About the book-
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.
My thoughts-
I will pretty much ready anything set in Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, or on Cape Cod so I am a big Elin Hilderbrand fan. This book was a little different because it had the added air of suspense and mystery. I thought it was great to marry those genres to women's fiction. The book was a page turner. I definitely was interested in what happened on the Island and there were plenty of suspects that could have done it, so that kept things interesting! Mostly though, I was interested in the bride's mom's story. I know that it wasn't the main theme of the book, but I felt very drawn to her and hope to see more of her in a future book. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys contemporary women's fiction.
