A fun, entertaining read but that ending was so disappointing!

Thanks to Hodder & Stoughton and Netgalley for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.

Throughly enjoyed this book very clever storyline. Wanted to keep reading to find out the answers. Would recommend to everyone!!!

Unlikeable characters and predictable storyline. Wanted to love it but I didn't. Was a slog to finish it.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. I really like this author and loved this book. The Perfect Couple begins with a celebration proceeding a wedding the next day. The maid of honor is discovered the next day, dead. Would recommend this book to other readers

Elin is one of my favourite authors so I was really looking forward to reading this book, and it didn't disappoint. As far as I am aware this was the first 'mystery' novel she has written and she handled it really well, while always invoking the warmth and charm of Nantucket that I love so much. I didn't connect the dots until right at the end, and I enjoyed every twist and turn of the story. And I always love seeing some of Elin's other characters - such as police chief Ed - pop up in various places. I would recommend this as a perfect beach read - and it made me, once again, desperate to move to Nantucket!!!

I am a big fan of Elin Hilderbrand and this book did not disappoint. I loved the descriptions of the scenery and the characters. It felt like I was there meeting everyone and drinking in beautiful scenery. I got totally caught up in the story and enjoyed every second of it.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

I didn’t like this book I adored it. Whilst reading this amazing story was all I could think about, every time I HAD to put this book down, I likened it to having to put a film on hold and all the characters were paused, eager for my return so they could continue their story!!

The fairytale wedding between very wealthy Benji and Celeste should be the wedding of the year, no expense spared and all organised by the grooms Mother Greer.

On the morning of the wedding Maid of Honour Merritt is discovered dead, that is when you realise all is not well in paradise and that there are many secrets to be revealed, before we find out what really happened to Merritt.

What was there not to like in this book? It has everything I love in a novel, glamour, secrets, affairs and murder all nicely told in 2 timelines. The time leading up to Benji and Celeste meeting and falling in love and the lead up to their wedding. the characters are so wealthy and have amazing names like Merritt and Greer!! I looked up Nantucket and I’m desperate to go there now and have a tiny taste of paradise.

I have to say even right at the end of the book, I hadn’t completely worked out what had happened to Merritt as everybody seemed to be hiding secrets and acting guiltily.

I would love to read another book set in Nantucket with the same great characters appearing in it, especially Chief Ed Kapenash and Nick Diamantopoulos and what happens to all the other memorable characters!!

This to my surprise is Elin Hildrebran’s twenty first novel and my first ever book I’ve read of hers, so I have some major catching up to do. I recommend you to read this book which should come with a warning that its highly addictive and you won’t be able to put it down!!

After all that talk about Lobster I feel a craving coming on for some, and as the saying goes “If you can’t beat them join them”

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy in exchange for a review.

A wedding in Nantucket goes off the rails when the maid of honor is murdered, leaving the local police chief to find a killer. Hilderbrand goes a little too in depth with too many characters to make this book a real page turner. If you are more interested in character development than mystery, this book may appeal to you

DNF - even though I liked the way this book was written with lots of information and history of almost each person that is part of this story, at 42% it was simply too much. Too much info and secrets and people with something to hide, so I just gave up. The need to know what happened to Meritt or if she was killed and by whom wasn't enough to continue reading this book.
