"If you don’t have a holiday booked, you can ask for nothing better than to live vicariously for three hundred odd pages through the lens of Elin Hildebrand’s story telling."
For me, Elin Hilderbrand is the queen of the Nantucket beach read. For a summer, very many years ago I spent some time in this part of the world and her books instantly transport me to the grey-blue clapboards and shingles, the seemingly unending choices of deserted beaches and that particular society that is east coast, US wealthy vacationing vibe.
Swan Song is in part mystery, we dive into the lives of the Richardsons, impossibly rich and affluent – the couple who within a very short period of time have established themselves at the centre of the Nantucket social set. When their multi-million dollar summer home is burned down and their ‘trusty’ assistant disappears we are left in the familiar and capable hands of the local police chief; Ed Kampanesh who is on the threshold of retirement, if he can just make it through the next few days.
This is a book filled with trademark characters, understated luxury and sometimes in your face opulence, small town gossip and a good old twist or two along the way. If you don’t have a holiday booked, you can ask for nothing better than to live vicariously for three hundred odd pages through the lens of Elin Hildebrand’s story telling.
