Swan Song (Nantucket, 4)

The beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author brings her Nantucket novels to a brilliant finish: when rich strangers move to the island, social mayhem--and a possible murder follow. Can Nantucket's best locals save the day, and their way of life?

Chief of Police Ed Kapenash is about to retire. Blond Sharon is going through a divorce. But when a 22-million-dollar summer home is purchased by the mysterious Richardsons--how did they make their money, exactly?--Ed, Sharon, and everyone in the community are swept up in high drama. The Richardsons throw lavish parties, flirt with multiple locals, flaunt their wealth with not one but two yachts, and raise impossible hopes of everyone they meet. When their house burns to the ground and their most essential employee goes missing, the entire island is up in arms.

The last of Elin Hilderbrand's bestselling Nantucket novels, Swan Song is a propulsive medley of glittering gatherings, sun-soaked drama, wisdom and heart, featuring the return of some of her most beloved characters, including, most importantly, the beautiful and timeless island of Nantucket itself.

Of all of the Elin Hilderbrand Nantucket series, I liked this one the best. The characters re-visited were like a pair of comfy house-shoes, at once at-home with. And the new characters - especially Leslee - were jaw-droppingly over the top. I mean, was she for real? The Romeo and Blonde Sharon story was sweet. I enjoyed the Kacy and Coco dynamic. Isla was annoying and needy. And Delilah would be me - just not able to hold back and pretend everything was okay. I liked her! The Chief, Ed, and his wife, Andrea, were lovely. This book was a nice wrap-up, with all the bows tied firmly into place.

I was not totally able to predict the ending so that kept me on my toes!
