There’s a new couple in town . . . and nothing will ever be the same.

Soon, the whole island is 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.
But then Ed, with only three days left on the job, receives a phone call: the Richardson mansion has gone up in flames. He has to contend with the chaos this new couple have wreaked across the island, small-town gossip and a possible murder case to save his community. But is it themselves they really need saving from . . .
Bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand’s Swan Song is a propulsive medley of glittering gatherings, sun-soaked drama, wisdom and heart.

Reviews
Elin Hilderbrand is my number one go-to author for sunny escapist reads and she's writing at the top of her game with this novel - the intricate characterisations, the twists and turns, and the sheer depth of emotion truly make this an unforgettable experience. I've adored all her books, but this is undoubtedly her best yet
Praise for Elin Hilderbrand's novels
Deliciously escapist, full of emotion, and with a dash of Roaring Twenties glamour, this is the perfect read from the bestselling "Queen of the Summer Novel"
I just LOVE her books, they are such compulsive reads
