Publisher's Summary

From New York Times best-selling author Elin Hilderbrand, comes a novel about the many ways family can fill our lives with love...if they don't kill us first.

It's wedding season on Nantucket. The beautiful island is overrun with summer people - an annual source of aggravation for year-round residents. And that's not the only tension brewing offshore. When one lavish wedding ends in disaster before it can even begin - with the bride-to-be discovered dead in Nantucket Harbor just hours before the ceremony - everyone in the wedding party is suddenly a suspect. As Chief of Police Ed Kapenash digs into the best man, the maid of honor, the groom's famous mystery novelist mother, and even a member of his own family, the chief discovers that every wedding is a minefield - and no couple is perfect.

Featuring beloved characters from The Castaways and A Summer Affair, The Perfect Couple proves once again that Elin Hilderbrand is the queen of the summer beach book.

Well narrated

Was hoping for a more dramatic ending but I enjoyed it all the way through.

Good book but the narration is very annoying

The story is pretty good but the narration was driving me crazy. Everything is ‘he said. She said. He said. She said.’ It gets old quickly and becomes quite distracting. There is also a lot of characters so it takes a while to understand who is who. But over all a good story. I’d suggest reading this one though.

Summer Beach Read/Listen

#Audible1
Elin Hilderbrand, The Perfect Couple
A good summer beach read or listen. It was a little lighter than her usual books, seemed a little redundant at times. But a nice easy read for the summer. The narration was excellent also.

Book club pick

This was the selected book for a book club, and I would recommend it for other book clubs as it touched on many issues that will make good conversation. The audio version was easy to stay interested in, the narrator did a fantastic job!
