This mystery came in at just the right time for me! Definitely needed something with high energy that kept me guessing along the way to get me out of a little reading slump. I loved all of the death/murder suspense, drama, and the Nantucket setting. I also enjoyed how all of the characters are so intertwined (and in ways you don’t realize at first). Brice and Karen are by far the best /most kindhearted characters.

I really liked this one! It was a total page turner. It usually takes me quite a few days to get through a Hildebrand novel. This was a quick read for me. It is now my 2nd favorite EH novel. 28 Summers being my #1 favorite. I can’t wait to dive into Swan Song which is a companion novel to The Perfect Couple AND really can’t wait to watch the Netflix adaptation!! 4 stars!!

Read as part of book club. Disappointed that this was more family drama than murder mystery; especially given the anticlimactic ending.

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!
