About this ebook
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.

Wow! What a Swan Song!!! Absolutely amazing book! I have read everyone of Elin's books, I fell in love with Nantucket right from the beginning. I looked forward to every new book with so much excitement. I always felt like I spent my summers on the island. The characters in this book, are truly great! Some you love, some you dislike and some you love to hate...lol. I have to say, those parties, I would love to have attended, just for the food!!! Oh my goodness, and the items Coco had to pick up fresh all the time, I could get used to that. Elin, thank you for writing another fabulous book, with amazing characters that seem like real people to me. People I expect to meet or run into should I go to Nantucket. I will say, the last chapter, made me cry. Such a beautiful ending. Thank you for inviting us to the island for so many years and allowing us to become islanders for our stay through your books. I will miss the books, the characters and the island. Happy retirement!
