Description
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.
Reviews
The Elin Novel.
5By S12387Much like my first Elin novel, the blue bistro, I couldn’t put it down. 🤍Completely disappointed
1By shatgiYou did not need to kill off the chief. Nothing was gained by that. Really unfortunate ending to a great series of books.Another excellent mystery by Hilderbrand

2By year round readerFor women younger than 50 years old.Excellent read!
5By Jodidez1I loved the story and the vivid description of each character, I could have been at my own country club. The ending could have given me more, I wanted more, I guess that’s what Erin does, leave us wanting more!Entertaining
4By dominolouisEngaging and well writtenGreat book until the last 10 pages
3By xhjmtktLoved this read- love the author The could’ve ended the book 10 pages prior hated the end.Predictable, but enjoyable
4By wyomom2Return to characters and the place they call home. Not her best, but still enjoyable.So good!
5By JillzyOcoRiveting! Sad to see Elin put her writing to rest but time marches on….enjoy your retirement!Great read, per usual
4By SteelerGirl88Great characters; interconnected drama, so easy to read like all her booksThe title is perfect
5By Willybird47I’ve read all of her books. I’ve truly enjoyed each one and loved several. Swan Song is one that I loved and think it was a perfect way to “wrap” all the wonderful Nantucket stories with a beautiful ribbon.Not a chick book ..
5By Skindoggy09My wife thought I was reading “summer beach chick book”…but I was immediately captivated by the mystery and complex cast of characters right out of the gates. Highly recommend !Good Book Bad ending
3By AndrealynnstuartfarrisThe ending seemed like she just decided not to finish writing the book. DisappointingGreat summer read
5By kris10taylorrCouldn’t put it downA great book
5By jhyncikGreat read !!!!Perfect beach read
5By KalebbnDelightful summer read. This is the first Hilderbrand book I’ve read. I heard her interview on the NYT book podcast. She was so fun to listen to I figured I’d read the latest. Even though I’m sure there were little things I missed because I hadn’t read the others, I didn’t feel it at all. It was a wonderful read.Didn’t like the ending
4By amya219I liked the book. It seemed like characters from her other books were weaved in and out, however the story itself seemed superficial. The storyline was all over the place and to have it end with a death was dissapointing.Must read!
5By Roho822This final novel was splendid! I couldn’t put it down. Thanks EH for giving me vacations to Nantucket through your books! This just might be my favorite.
