Our book for February is “Swan Song” by Elin Hilderbrand. It is the grand finale to her beloved Nantucket series, wrapping up the beachy, drama-filled world she’s built over many novels. The story follows Ed Kapenash, the island’s police chief on the brink of retirement, whose plans are disrupted when a wealthy couple’s mansion burns down, and their personal assistant goes missing. As Ed investigates, the novel weaves together personal secrets, community gossip, and the luxurious yet often tumultuous lives of Nantucket’s residents. With familiar characters and a rich setting, Swan Song offers a captivating mix of mystery, relationships, and the charm of a tight-knit island community.
