THE GRIPPING THRILLER THAT INSPIRED THE MAJOR NEW NETFLIX SERIES Every couple has their secrets . . . It's wedding season, and tensions are brewing. When one lavish wedding ends in disaster before it can even begin—with the maid of honour discovered dead in Nantucket Harbour 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 bride, 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 that no couple is perfect. The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand unravels a story full of suspense and hidden truths.
