A perfect Nantucket wedding weekend is ruined by a murdered MOH who turns up dead the morning of the wedding. Full of rich people behaving badly, picturesque Nantucket settings, delicious sounding food, and booze, secrets, and lies a-plenty, like the best of Hildebrand's work.

i zipped through this story - partly because it was an overdue library hold and partly because it was necessary for a buddy read!

regardless, the plot was fantastic. the character development and varied points of view were delightful. and, i didn’t see the ending coming at all. really enjoyed this one!

It was engaging but a a few things annoyed me. Mac & Betty nicknames and

Celeste loving Shooter despite what a mess he was. It felt unrealistic and I wasn’t convinced.

Why did the cops decide so quickly? They didn't even speak to the house keeper and she was the key! What happened to Karen? Did Shooter and Celeste end up together? Merrit was pregnant and she drowned because of a stupid mistake! Absolurely devastating.

I loved reading this until the big reveal... it was extremely anti-climactic after all the build up. I'm so disappointed. This story is not a mystery, it's a tragedy.

It’s been a while since I’ve read a mystery, and this was a great way to get back into it. Extremely quick read - couldn’t put it down. Everytime i thought I had it figured out i was still a little bit off.

Personally, i wish I had a little bit more from some of the characters I really liked, such as the bride’s parents, the pregnant sister-in-law, and the groom.

The ending is satisfactory but still leaves you wanting a bit more.

Really liked the inclusion of the chief.

Difficult to track character development since it jumps around so much between characters and dates.
