The Perfect Couple

Soon to be a Netflix limited series, this novel by Elin Hilderbrand, a bestselling author, offers a "quintessential summer read" (People) that explores the complexities of family relationships and the unexpected ways they can shape our lives.

It's wedding season on Nantucket, and the sight of a bride dashing down Main Street is as common as the sunset over Madaket Beach. The Otis-Winbury wedding is set to be a grand affair, with the groom's affluent parents pulling out all the stops for a lavish celebration at their oceanfront estate.

However, the event takes a dark turn when a body is found in Nantucket Harbor just hours before the ceremony, casting suspicion on everyone in the wedding party. As Chief of Police Ed Kapenash questions the bride, groom, the groom's renowned mystery-novelist mother, and even a family member, he uncovers that weddings can be fraught with hidden tensions and no couple is without flaws. Featuring familiar characters from The Castaways, Beautiful Day, and A Summer Affair, this book reaffirms Elin Hilderbrand's reputation as a master of the summer read.
