The Matchmaker

Elin Hilderbrand

'Beach reading with an unsettling edge' - Kirkus reviews

Dabney Kimball Beech has had a lifelong gift for matchmaking (fifty-two couples still together to her credit). But when Dabney discovers she is dying of pancreatic cancer she sets out to find matches for a few people very close to home: her husband John Boxmiller Beech celebrated economist and Harvard professor; her lover Clendenin Hughes Pulitzer-winning journalist who lost his arm in Southeast Asia; and her daughter Agnes who is engaged to be married to the wrong man.

As time slips away from Dabney she is determined to find matches for those she loves most - but at what cost to her own relationships?
