The Perfect Couple

Wow! I just finished the book and was totally intrigued to the very end. I kind of knew the out come; I just didn't know that Abby had anything to do with it. I was wondering why she wasn't mentioned very much towards the end. But this book was a little different than what I expected from Elin. Her books are usually more detailed about an event or happening in Nantucket without such mystery, but I liked it, just a little too long to get to the punchline.

The Perfect Couple is a superbly crafted, captivating, mystery. The most expensive event of the summer on Nantucket was to be the marriage celebration between Benjamin Winbury and Celeste Otis. It was being held at the Winbury’s Nantucket beachfront home. Greer spared no cost in planning Benji and Celeste’s happy day. The only wrinkle, Greer could see, affecting her son’s wedding, was the report of a missing person, and the dead body that was floating in front of their home, the morning of the wedding. Everyone at the Winbury home was being questioned; nerves were on edge, hearts were shattered, fear was everywhere as the intricate web of sordid, dark secrets were unearthed, one by one. The Perfect Couple is an incredible whodunit mystery, crafted with an intriguing plot, flowing dialog and colorful characters. There wasn’t a dull page in the entire book. The characters are beautifully developed, realistic and flawed. I don’t want to give anything away, but I will say that I never figured out who the true villain was. Brilliantly crafted. I loved it! Thank you, Little, Brown & Co. Publishing and NetGalley, for my advanced review copy.

It was good, enjoyed the characters and all their little secrets that came out. Interesting ending.
