Katy Brent has such a captivating writing style that just pulls you in, from page one, to this ever darkening world while also making you laugh and snigger at the same time.

I liked I Bet You’d Look Good in a Coffin—it was funny, fast-paced, and definitely entertaining. But overall, I felt like everything came a bit too easily at times. There weren’t many real obstacles or tension, which made parts of the story feel a little flat.

The big reveal did catch me off guard, so props for that twist, but I guess I was hoping for something with a bit more impact. Kitty Collins is such a unique character—flawed, impulsive, chaotic—and not gonna lie, sometimes I just wanted to hug her.

It was an okay read. Nothing groundbreaking, but fun enough to keep me turning the pages. I’ll definitely keep reading books by this author; there’s a charm to their writing that keeps things engaging even when the plot isn’t super complex.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️☆ (4/5)
Dark comedy meets millennial angst in this punchy revenge thriller. Katy Brent delivers sass, suspense, and social commentary with a sharp edge. Gritty and gleeful in all the right ways—it’s a ride.

I Bet You'd Look Good in a Coffin
Katy Brent

If you know me, you know I love a Katy Brent book so the chances of me making “I Bet You’d Look Good in a Coffin” a priority read when it came out were pretty high….

Oh How I loved getting reacquainted with Kitty and her life.
Kitty is a reformed character, since being with her boyfriend Charlie, her murderous urges have kind of subsided, that is until a seriously misogynistic influencer starts spreading vile views about women and Kitty struggles to keep her urges under control.
On top of that Kitty's Mum is marrying a man who kitty is sure is dangerous!!
This is a must read for fans of “How to Kill Men and Get Away with it” Kitty is back at her best, navigating life, love, friends and family with about as much grace as a kitten on speed!! As funny as this book ot the undertone of vulnerability in women is clear, it doesn't matter how strong you may feel, how many self defense classes you have taken, if you carry alarms, can run fast or how you dress!! Men are dangerous, especially if they want something you have or they feel they have a right to. I love that through Kitty, Katy is making women aware of this. #Ichoosethebear

I didn’t realise this was the follow up book to How to Kill Men and Get Away With It. However the fact I hadn’t read the first book didn’t make any difference as this works as a stand alone and very only tees things up for a third in the series.

Kitty Collins is 6 months sober, if by being sober she means that she hasn’t killed a man in the last 6 months. Kitty is a serial killer, one who avenges the wrongs awful men have to women. But 6 months ago she made a mistake and killed an innocent person. Today she’s loved up with Charlie, enjoying her ridiculously wealthy lifestyle as heiress of a sausage making business and attending her angry women anonymous group. At group a new attendee sparks Kitty’s rage to kill again… one little murder wouldn’t hurt would it,,,

A dark comedy of ridiculous proportions. As long as you go into the book realising this isn’t a thriller and is a lighthearted take on the dark comedy genre you’ll enjoy it. Suspend your disbelief and take a ride with Kitty.

This one gets 3 stars from me, it’s fun, fast-paced, and darkly entertaining at first, but somewhere along the way, it crosses into completely OTT territory. I love a good satirical thriller, and the premise had me hooked, but as the plot escalated, it lost its grip on reality just a bit too much.

The main character? Chaotic in the best way (at first). The humour? Sharp and savage. But as the story spirals, it starts feeling like it’s trying too hard to be outrageous rather than delivering a truly satisfying thriller. The final stretch? Pure madness.

Would I recommend it? If you’re in the mood for something dark, ridiculous, and completely unhinged, this might be your kind of read. Just don’t expect subtlety or sanity.

Thank you for forwarding me a digital copy of this book. I jumped straight in and, although a different type of story to others I’ve read recently, I was gripped by the story very quickly. Good little twists kept me interested. Loved it.

I LOVED the first book of this series so much so that when this one popped up I dived on it immediately!

Some really interesting messages in this as to how men behave toward women and how much we let slide but wish we didn’t.

I don’t wanna go to in depth as you’ll gather the plot from the blurb, the title & other reviews and I’d hate to post spoilers!

Does Kitty get away things a little too conveniently ? Yes, would I like to see higher stakes and harder to get out of scenarios? 100%.

But I love that we have a female main character who doesn’t take crap lying down and is active in her approach.

It’s a fun read from start to finish and includes similar whitty comebacks and then some as we loved from the first book.


Highly recommend & would absolutely pick up another story from this series if one were available.

We love a bad ass , educated, whitty & wonderful female lead…. Even if she is a murderer 👀

I enjoyed this book, the plot was great, and it was a really easy book to fly through. That said, I did prefer the first book in the series. At times, it felt like context from book one was being wedged in a bit awkwardly to catch up new readers, which pulled me out of the story a little.

That being said, I’d still recommend it to anyone who enjoys female rage and fast-paced reads. Definitely worth picking up if you liked the first book, and I really hope we get a third book in the Kitty Collins series!

Katy Brent has some serious things to say about male violence against women, incel culture and general misogyny. In I Bet You'd Look Good in a Coffin, once again she wraps these important messages in an entertaining, easy-read romp involving lots of murder and mayhem.

Blaze Blundy is an Andrew Tate-like influencer who is threatening Kitty, forcing her to come out of her self-imposed 'retirement' from killing. Would that in real life such dangerous men could be taken out of circulation, by whatever means necessary to stop them.

The one thing that grated on me was all the label-name-dropping and the shoving-their-wealth-in-your-face descriptions. I didn't understand the point of it.

I Bet You'd Look Good in a Coffin is the second Kitty Collins book and I'm sure that every woman who finds herself often consumed with helpless rage at men will get some vicarious pleasure from watching some of them get their come-uppance, albeit only in fiction.

My thanks to Netgalley for giving me a free copy of this book. All my reviews are 100% honest and unbiased, regardless of how I acquire the book.

So funny !!! Kitty I love and can’t wait to see you again. Difficult to say much without ruining it. The serious side of domestic violence is not dismissed- it’s central to this dark and yes, funny book .

Come back soon !

Kitty is a killer, sorting out injustice in the world on her own with a perminant solution. Dark humour , far-fetched in places, Kitty and her ffriends and family are rich socialites who drink and party hard. Lots of label name dropping here, which started to grate with me. The plot is based in London and the South of France and although it had a couple of twists, was overall fairly predictable. Don't think too much about the actual possibility of carrying out the crimes and the cleaning up in the book because everything is sorted out very easily here. Not a bad read, but not sure if I will look out for more in the series, I can't imagine any great developments further.
Thanks to Net Galley for the ARC

Kitty Collins is back and I have to say I enjoyed this follow up more than the first instalment! Kitty is trying very hard to be good, but men are insisting on being misogynistic, handsy idiots so she feels like she has to get murdery again. Completely timely with its themes of incel culture, the normalisation of violence against women and women’s rage about the whole thing, but also a really good thriller with twists and turns that kept me guessing, and lots of wit. Perfectly paced and set up for a third in the series, I’m looking forward to it already!

Thank you to NetGalley and HQ for the arc in return for an honest review.

Katy Brent is one of the best dark-humoured writers out there right now!

Kitty Collins is a brilliant character and I am so glad that we have more of her in this sequel. I loved it and couldn't fault it.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series, and this one was equally fantastic. It had some incredibly gruesome moments, balanced out by hilarious scenes. I was a bit let down that things didn’t pan out with Charlie, but I suppose you can’t have it all. It was a brilliant read! A big thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the early copy; I’m eagerly anticipating the next installment!

An enjoyable easy read. If you call it easy listening to a woman murder men 🙈🙈

It felt a little long winded at points & probably could have been a bit more ‘high stakes’ for kitty. I felt like everything was just a little too convenient for her.
Nonetheless, I enjoyed it and would definitely read more!

P.S. I listened to this & the narrator was brilliant!

So much fun, I didn't want it to end! I recommended it to a colleague who loved How To Kill Your Family.

Kitty Collins is back...and I've missed her.

Kitty's life is going well, she's utterly in love with Charlie and she's murder-sober, I mean obviously she really misses the murdering, there's a lot of men that need her specific form of justice given to them, but she's joined a support group and she's doing well....until she's not. Everything starts getting a bit messy, she breaks her promise, her mum is getting married to someone Kitty has never met (and her dad was not a good choice!), she had a fight with her best friend, and an anonymous toxic influencer appears to be targeting her. Can she untangle it all without getting herself into any more trouble??

As the previous book (How to kill men and get away with it), it's told from Kitty's first person narrative, and is full of her acerbic wit and style. I love her, I wish she was my (slightly scary) friend. More Kitty books please!!

I hadn't read the first book, but I enjoyed this one. Easy to read, quite dark humour and a crime thrileer What's not to like?

I really enjoyed this book—it was an effortless, engaging read. While some parts were a bit unrealistic, once I switched off the ‘this must make sense’ part of my brain, it became a wildly entertaining crime romp. Fast-paced, fun, and thoroughly enjoyable!
