The Finch Sisters #1
Drop Dead Sisters
“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.

maybe I would’ve liked this if the main character wasn’t the main character?……definitely not. This book might be 255 pages but it feels 800 years long

Ugh. The main character's problem is not her anxiety, it's that she's a whiny twit. Her whole life consists of no one ever liking her as she busily self-sabotaged every single aspect of her life, because she's incredibly annoying. Her anxiety doesn't make her annoying, her basic annoying-ness does that.
(And shout out to rich-people-white-girl privilege for getting away with murder! *incoherent sigh of frustration*)

From the well-developed characters to the dysfunctional family dynamics, Drop Dead Sisters was a fun, quick, easy read. More along the lines of an upbeat “lite” thriller versus the often standard serious fare, there were plenty of comical moments and even a sweet romance with a hunky park ranger. And while it initially seemed to fall in line more with a cozy mystery at first glance, the underlying themes had plenty of depth and even required a trigger warning or two. Together with the romantic intrigue and soul-satisfying conclusion, there was a bit of everything in this family-centered albeit crime-riddled good time.
The first in a new series, I was won over hook, line, and sinker by our quirky protagonist—anxiety-run Remi. Over the course of the novel, my esteem for her only grew. With a simply sublime character arc, she finally came to terms with who she and her family members were at their core. At the same time, I wouldn’t exactly call any of them—or the plot itself—realistic or true-to-life. Somewhat over-the-top, I had to suspend all disbelief. Once I did that, however, I was more than happy to just hold on for dear life as the storyline took on one hilariously ridiculous turn after another until the perfectly plotted climax took center stage.
All in all, despite a slow start and some overly introspective narration, I had a blast riding shotgun with the nutty Finch family. Coming in at under 300 pages, I sped through this book in just a matter of hours with no trouble at all. Now comes the long wait for Ms. Coombs to release the second book in the series. Considering that this one was a comedy of errors if there ever was one, I can’t wait to see whether the next one provides just as much dark humor as this fun murder mystery novel. Needless to say, you need to add this book to your TBR ASAP. After all, who can pass up a family reunion gone wrong? Rating of 4 stars.

The majority of this read like a really annoying teenager's personal journal/diary. The main characters were all in their 30s so definitely did not jive.

This was one of my free Amazon First Reads Selections for October. Another case of "you get what you pay for".
I only stuck with this because the premise was interesting (a dead body kept coming up missing). But the premise was ruined by the absolute Debbie Downer of a main character. Youngest Finch sister Remi claims to have anxiety, but really she just has a big ol' Victim Complex. EVERY SINGLE PAGE is a pity party for one. Her parents love her sisters more, her sisters don't like her, her family is weird, she hasn't been laid in over a year, she hates her job (she gets death threats and doxxed at her job, but doesn't want to quit and join a friend's company because...that means moving to Seattle, where one of her sisters live???? Like Seattle is a big city, just keep ignoring her????) etc etc etc. And her self-pity is supposed to be cute & quirky & funny, judging by the fact that a hot park ranger falls head over heels for her. But it is definitely NOT cute. At one point, she describes her life as a "Shakesperean tragedy". Nevemind that 98% of her issues SHE CAUSED HERSELF.

I cannot stand whiny FMC’s that do nothing to improve their lives yet find 1000 things to complain about. She complains that her sisters don’t like her, yet makes no effort to have a relationship with them. Yes, it goes both ways, but she’s not trying either.
She thinks her biggest problem is her anxiety, but I honestly think her biggest issue is that she’s making problems for herself. Like: She hates her job, she keeps getting doxed and sent hate mail because of her job. So when her friend offers her a job in Seattle (where one of her sisters lives, like she could be solving two problems by accepting it), you’d think she’d jump at that chance. But no, she doesnt and in fact uses it as another thing to complain about!
If this book was from the perspective of another of the sisters, maybe i would have wanted to continue it but Remi is a major debbie downer.

reading this as an older sister I was like girl stfu but also, respectfully, I understand

A somewhat implausible story about a family camping trip at a state park (no spoilers!). Will have to agree with other reviewers regarding some of the repetitiveness in the story given the book is on the shorter side. I didn't find the narrator to be as annoying as others have reported yet I can see why she may have gotten on some reader's nerves.
But, the writing is generally good and at times some dialogue was funny enough to make me laugh out loud. I had a harder time with the improbability of the main storyline but if you can look beyond that, it is an okay murder-mystery. Wasn't aware that this book was meant to be the first of a series but if that is the plan it will be interesting to see where the story goes next.

I was lucky to read an early version of this book and instantly fell in love with the Finches and their quirks (and especially Buffy, the sweetest Cavalier King Charles Spaniel). Is there a better way to reconnect with family and the great outdoors than by hiding a body? I think not. Humor, heart, and a little murder... this book has it all!

This is an Amazon First read that I grabbed based on Mindy Kaling's endorsement. It is a "thriller lite" novel that is more fun than a serious thriller, which is a genre I happen to love.
It is a short novel centered on 3 sisters who aren't very close, but come together with extended family for a camping trip to celebrate their hippie parents' anniversary. The main character sister is Remi, who can't seem to form good relationships and kind of feels she is unlovable. While on the trip there is an incident, a body, and suddenly the 3 sisters need to work together to fix this situation. Lots of capers and honest conversations between the sisters ensue.
There is a side story of a McDreamy park ranger, and you can guess how that will go. So it is also a teeny tiny bit of romance, which is the perfect amount for me lol.
This is not a realistic story, but it aligns closely enough with the way we hope things might go in real life to make it a fun read. I'm deducting one star because there was far too much navel-gazing sad introspection by Remi for most of the novel, which I thought was redundant and borderline excessive. 4-stars.

The main character complained too much and it just wasn't funny. The book tried really hard, but for me, it was not worth the read. Maybe it's me and/or my poor book choices, but I have been on a major book slump.
November 19, 2024
If I could give no stars I would. The main character is whiny and annoying and the plot is ridiculous. Don’t waste your time!
December 23, 2024
Most of all, it was entertaining.
Realistic? Not even a little bit. But very, very entertaining.
I finished it in pretty much two goes, it was easy to read and I did get a hint of an unreliable narrator which I personally really enjoy. The twists were quite predictable (but definitely not all and definitely not to the full extent) cause there were quite a few! I found it a little repetitive at times as some things were established really early on and I’d rather see examples in characters’ behaviour than yet another statement of her feeling left out. But it wasn’t THAT bad. I recommend for a light-hearted evening read :)

3.5 stars. I related to Remi a lot, but it was very repetitive, which is why I am rating it down from 4 stars. It was obvious who did it but then it went in all these different directions that was exhausting at the end. The romance, sister relationships, and Remi’s anxiety journey were the highlights.
March 9, 2025
3.5 ⭐️ was this book good? I don’t know. Did I read it in two sittings? Yes. Did I enjoy it? Yes. Did I overlook some character flaws and plot holes? Yep. Rounded to four ⭐️ because what the heck, life is short.
January 24, 2025
Loved the quirky family dynamics in this story! It’s more of a dark, realistic comedy in my opinion. I would definitely read more by this author!

Narrated by Soneela Nankani
thank you so much partner @mbc_books @brillancepublishing @netgalley for the gifted copy and audiobook!
About the book 👇🏽
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.
🏕️ My thoughts:
Loved loved loved!! I loved this book so much. When I read that three sisters reunite and accidentally kill someone, I knew I needed to read this and immediately added it to my TBR. I literally said “Sign me up!”. What was even better is that I was fortunate enough to also get the audiobook. Which means when I didn’t want to put the book down but had to, I was able to listen to it. Soneela Nankani did a fantastic job narrating this story and keeping my attention when I needed to jump from book to ear bud. The family drama, the murder mystery, the dark humor… it’s literally setting you up to binge this. There’s literally no other way to read it! And that twist was so good. I just saw that this is the first installment in The Finch Sisters series and the way I did a little happy feet dance… I can’t wait to read book two. Don’t miss this new murder mystery series! Drop Dead Sisters is out NOW!
Happy reading 📖 🏕️🎧

terrible
I always finish a book but couldn’t with this one - I’m sorry Amelia but I didn’t like your main character from the beginning - and the story seemed a little far fetched.

Remi is insanely annoying. 80% of the book is her spiraling anxious thoughts or complaints about her family. The other 20% is a terrible plot that makes no sense and is entirely unlikely.
November 5, 2024
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ a murdery mystery/comedy of errors/family dramedy/closed room mystery. Mindy Kaling, you haven’t led me astray yet.
Remi isn’t close with her sisters, soon-to-be-divorced mother Eliana and bisexual influencer Maeve. They don’t live in the same city nor do they invest much in their relationship, much to the dismay of their happily married parents. But when they go on a camping trip with extended family over the Fourth of July, they find that they’d hide a dead body rove without second thought. Fugitives from justice, a who dunit, quirky family characters and a seemingly unnecessary local boy romantic entanglement round out the narrative elements that keep the pages turning.
This was a fun, sister centered mystery that you will surely finish in one setting. You may or may not guess some of the reveal elements, but the pacing and conversations are great. The characters are all flawed yet likable. I have already added the second installment in the Finch sister series, to be published October 2025, to my TBR list. The murder victim is someone we get to know just well enough to intensely dislike. Not that he deserved to die, but that we aren’t sad he’s gone either.
Themes of family solidarity, career over family, and a lot of dark humor.

The last quarter of this book was fun and wasn’t what I expected but I didn’t love the characters. Maybe if I had sisters / siblings it would’ve been more relatable but I just wasn’t dying to continue reading, nothing really kept me hooked but I was interested in how it would all shake out. Easy enough read but not incredibly engaging.

Three sisters, who don't really like each other much, get together on a camping trip with relatives where their hippie parents are renewing their wedding vows on their 40th anniversary. Remi, the narrator, is the youngest and has an anxiety complex because of her crazy family, but also an inferiority complex because of her older sisters. But when it appears they might have accidentally killed someone, they freak out and decide to hide the body... and chaos ensues.
I can see why a lot of readers are immediately turned off by Remi. She's whiny. She's a defeatist. But most of all she's utterly pathetic - although that's on purpose as she's that way for comic effect. (I couldn't help but think of her like Violet in "The Incredibles," as voiced by Sarah Vowell, but not as endearing.) But yes, it does wear a bit thin. But I kept reading in spite of this and it's actually a fun story about how the sisters learn to tolerate each other. It doesn't take shortcuts and paper over their grudges and differences, but confronts it all and they get everything uncomfortably out in the open between them. And it has a nice ending, and you know I like a nice ending. Not sure if I'd continue reading the series, but I thought this one turned out better than I expected.

Thank you to @mbc_books and @amazonpublishing for the #gifted copy to review.
I enjoyed this mystery, which is the first in a series. These three sisters clearly have a lot of dysfunction, and their parents are trying to do their best to help them reunite on a family vacation. And what better way to expedite a reunion than a murder? Shenanigans ensue, along with plenty of fighting (and whining), but I was here for this entertaining ride with the entire family.

This could have been more, but for me, it missed the mark. This is a really weird family. Most of the descriptions are pretty relatable, but there is absolutely nothing overarching to bring them together as a family. I mean, one loooooong stream of incidents and feelings result in a group of people who, while living in reasonable proximity, don't see or even communicate with each other for years. Literally, years. And suddenly all is mostly worked out in a crazy weekend.
Set that aside. Main character, Remy, could have been something. She knew she had issues and she got herself into therapy and is working on them. Her memories of growing up really rang true, and I felt for her. The first three or four times she mentions incidents and feelings. But geez, by the eighth and tenth time she was rapidly sliding into solid whiny victim loser territory which resulted in me really starting to feel sorry for her sisters!
And the conclusion? So weak. Stupid bad decision followed by stupid bad decision followed by seriously weird divine intervention. *sigh*
It had some fun parts. It had a good early stage romance. Everything was spelled right. And that's pretty much it.

I'm a middle-aged man, and this is not a book for me. Wanting to read something out of my comfort zone, and getting this for free via Amazon Prime, I gave it a shot. Lots of bad decisions made by alleged grown-ups. So, not for me.

Easy read a bit cutesy but also low key a bit annoying idk

Remi, an introverted, burned out, new dog mom is anxious about a camping trip to celebrate her parent’s 40th wedding anniversary. Remi has a complicated relationship with her 2 older sisters and finds the idea of being trapped in the wilderness with her kooky family, a nightmare.
Just when she thought that spending time with her family was going to be a nightmare, Remi is greeted with a slimy face from her past. Guy Moran is gross with a capital “G” and he is about to tear the wilderness weekend plans into pieces.
This book was totally unputdownable! Remi’s eccentric and complex family had me giggling. I simply cannot wait to dive into book 2!!
