My Killer Family Reunion by Dinesh Thiru (2026)
Nothing warms the heart more (and turns the pages faster) than a large extended family whose every member contemplates their own effective way to bump off the fam's powerhouse Matriarch. An amusing game the clan plays with each other that even tickles the Grand Mom herself, as she is called by everyone.
Amusing, that is, until it becomes apparent that somebody in the Devi family isn't kidding around with their intentions. And it falls to the most ignored, forgotten of the Devis, teen Jayshree, to become the family's most dedicated sleuth in getting to the bottom of things.
This book literally teems with not only Devi parents, children, and cousins, there's also plenty of rivalries, secrets, romances, heartbreak, humor, attempted murders and even some nail biting suspense and do-or-die action. Jayshree manages to navigate her way through it all, even as her cousins, along with the rest of the family, conspire to put her in the path of that visiting charming Spanish student who's beginning to make her heart flutter.
Author Dinish Thiru has put together a hugely entertaining package here. And it's filled to the very brim with all the messy comedic moments,, heartfelt drama and surprises that could only occur when such a large family reunites in one place. Enough chaos reigns to split them all asunder but those family bonds are tough to break.
Engrossing, fun and with enough stuff going on that could fill five other YA comedy-mysteries. Grand Mom rules, but keep your eye on her now unforgettable granddaughter Jay.
