The book is a real page-turner - a classic whodunit that will keep you guessing until the very end. Hilderbrand has a way of doling out little tidbits of information throughout the story that will keep you on your toes and constantly reevaluating your theories.
And let me tell you, I was wrong more times than I was right! The ending was definitely unexpected and a little sad, but it felt true to the story and left me thinking about it long after I finished the book.
Overall, I would highly recommend "The Perfect Couple" - it's a great example of a well-done mystery with plenty of twists and turns to keep you engaged.

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.
