I decided to listen to this one on Audio after I found out Netflix is releasing the movie in September. It was my first Elin Hilderbrand novel and I enjoyed it! She is always referred to as, "The Queen of Beach Reads" and I'm told this is her first, "Beach/Mystery" novel.

This is a light mystery about a couple and their family who gather in Nantucket over the July 4th weekend for their upcoming wedding. Hours before the wedding a body is washed ashore. Is it connected to the wedding?

This story has several characters and their past and present situations will all be explored. I think it will make a good movie. Very "whodunnit." I loved the way it ended!

Darla I read this several years ago and it must have worked well as a standalone. Don't even think I realized it was part of a series. Lol. 🤣

I keep hearing it works as a standalone plus there is a movie coming out in September. I think on Netflix. I always like reading the book before watching the movie ☺️
