Publisher's summary

“Compulsively readable, Drop Dead Sisters is perfect for readers who love shows like Bad Sisters and Dead to Me. A mystery about three estranged sisters who accidentally kill someone? Yes, please.”—Mindy Kaling

Three sisters reunite on a family vacation and rekindle their relationship the only way they know how—by covering each other’s tracks in a real-life murder mystery not even they can figure out.

Remi Finch has spent the better part of her adult life avoiding family—especially her sisters. They just don’t click. Besides, her unconventional upbringing and major anxiety have convinced Remi that she can’t build a relationship with anyone. Period.

When her parents plan a family reunion camping trip to celebrate their anniversary, Remi’s willing to reconnect, if only because she doesn’t have a choice. But then a dead body turns up at their campsite, and their sisterly bonding kicks into high gear.

No one knows the whole story, but the Finch women are prepared to cover up the pieces before anyone tries to put them together. It’s a precautionary measure, probably unnecessary. Nobody else was there, so how could they have seen anything?

Between old grudges and new dynamics, a handsome park ranger, and a body that won’t stay hidden, Remi is about to learn that nothing strengthens family ties quite like crime.

Critic reviews

“Three siblings scramble to dispose of a dead body in this delightful mystery debut… Coombs laces the proceedings with plenty of black humor, à la Alfred Hitchcock’s The Trouble with Harry, and works in surprisingly moving meditations on sisterhood. Here’s hoping a sequel is in the works.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“[Amelia Diane] Coombs makes her adult debut with this delightful series starter with Hiassen-level wacky characters and plot twists and a heroine readers will root for.” Booklist

Drop Dead Sisters is a delightfully twisted romp through the woods with an all-too-real cast of quirky and endearing characters that leap off the page. While the mystery of what happened to Guy Moran’s missing body keeps the pages turning at a quick clip, the Finches infuse the story with humor and warmth, along with the bizarre frustrations that seem to always accompany large family gatherings. Amelia Diane Coombs beautifully captures just how messy and complicated family, and especially sisters, can be, while simultaneously weaving a captivating caper that kept me on my toes from beginning to end!” —Lauren Thoman, author of I’ll Stop the World and You Shouldn’t Be Here

It was a fun easy read

A bit too much contrived hand wringing toward the end. Other than that it was fine as a light mystery.

Refreshingly Unique & relatable

This book was a great palette cleanser and a fun ride. It is a well balanced meal for you no matter what you look for in a book, a bit of: family issues & relationships, women's issues (inner conflict & outside conflicts both), humor, witty banter, mystery, adventure, suspense, the hot forest ranger love interest, a little taste of steam 🔥🌶 but not enough to make you blush. I had lukewarm expectations but I'm left with nothing but warm & fuzzies! It kept me on the edge of my seat, made me laugh, made me care about the fate of the characters and made me think about my own self image & family relationships! it's worth the credit & then some!

Dumb but goofy

I think the narrator is the only reason I stuck it out till the end.

The story is goofy and lighthearted at times but has some problems with development.

Happy ending galore even with a family of dumb azz murders. The youngest sister is the worst and I'm sure I'm supposed to empathize with her story, I just couldn't.

The instance romance was gawd awful and was strictly to give the youngest sister something, anything to make her less pathetic.

Delightful!!

This was such a cute and very funny story.
In its own twisted way, it's about family and how they will have your back, whether they want to or not, when needed.
I laughed out loud many times while listening.
I do recommend and both the eBook and audio are available through Kindle Unlimited.

Twisty

This novel has multiple plot twists which give it a depth I had been hoping for. Siblings can get stuck in their ways and learn to play their role in order to best keep the peace. The Finch sisters are trying to maintain their tense status quo when a past hurt shows up in person. Then not breathing. There is a series of keystone cop like antics and a lot of self loathing and displaced hostilities that usually simmers on the back burner but is now under a high fire. I want impressed by harsh nor the quirky family dynamics. It isn’t until the latest chapters that ‘ride or lie’ becomes a reality for the family to bond over. I did love the twists as I hadn’t picked up on any clues to lead me there so the reveals were incredibly refreshing.

the younger sister

In the beginning of the book, it felt like I was reading my life story. The beginning, middle and end of the story is a repeat of the same thing. The author literally repeats the same line over and over. Not to different characters in the story but to herself. It gets old really quick. I can honestly say I was glad when the book ended. The story itself wasn’t that bad, on a scale from – 0 to 10 I’d give the story a 7.

RECOMMENDATION: MAYBE
