About this listen

“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

“Soneela Nankani expressively performs this heartfelt and humorous family drama, making it a compulsive listen.… Nankani uses well-timed pauses to express sarcasm and add to the comedic effect. She provides great character differentiation of the family members. Hopeful tones reflect the sisters' determination to get through the weekend.”AudioFile Magazine

“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

I really enjoyed this story—it was full of unexpected twists and turns. Unlike most books that focus on amateur sleuths or detectives, this one took a fresh and unique approach. The characters were compelling and well-developed, making it an engaging read.

Loved this

Surprisingly nice and layered like an onion. The family really grows on you, much as "Everyone in my family has killed someone" does.

A cozy read about family coming together, and finding your happy place despite all the difficulties you may face along the way.

Dead bodies and true family bonds
