This is a fun, easy read that had me laughing and staying up late to read “just one more chapter”. Having not read Kitty Collin’s #1, I wasn’t sure if I would be missing key information or feel like after reading #2, that the first would be spoiled for me. I’m happy to say that neither is true. I realize flashback scenes in #2 may have given me a lot of the story and how #1 ends, but I don’t really know all the full details and I feel like it will still be an enjoyable read for me.
This story is not free from tense moments, some of which are a bit gory to imagine, but the author does a wonderful job of keeping it well balanced with drama, satire and humor. Through Kitty, this story overall is about how women are treated and how as a whole, society just accepts this and continues to give men a right to do what they do. Kitty sets out to right these wrongs. Are her ways the right way- no, but she also finds ways to make women feel better about themselves, gives them alternative ways other than accepting what they currently have as their normal and helps them to feel safe. Without giving a lot away- I really enjoyed the family aspect at the end of the story, laughed many times here- and I’m hoping for future Kitty Collin’s stories to include more of this.
Thank you Harper 360 publishing for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

some parts were a little predictable, but most of the book was not. every time i thought i knew a twist, something else came along and threw me off. it was still super dark and hilarious and everything i expected from katy brent. i don’t know how someone can make murder so hilarious. i love kitty and i need to know what’s next!

Kitty Collins is back and trying very hard to control herself and her habits to right certain wrongs and focus on enjoying life with her beloved Charlie. When Kitty receives an invitation to her mother's wedding (she didn't even know she was seeing anyone) in France of all places and the heinous misogynistic influencer who she is, well....stalking begins posting things that are a little too familiar too Kitty, her self-control goes out the window.

It is very hard to not like Kitty even though her vigilante hobbies are concerning. This book introduces us to Kitty's (rather delightful) mother, and we see how very much Charlie loves her. This is one of my favorite new series and I would recommend it to readers who are fans of Finlay Donovan, Stephanie Plum, and Meddelin Chen.

This book is a powerful, raw, and unflinching look at misogyny in the age of social media. Told through the eyes of Kitty, who navigates threats, toxic masculinity, and personal struggles, it’s equal parts heartbreaking, darkly funny, and gripping. Kitty is a flawed but fiercely relatable protagonist — a woman wrestling with anger and trauma, and yes, she’s also a serial killer, which adds a darkly wacky twist to the story.

The author doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities women face today, from online abuse to systemic injustice, but balances the heaviness with moments of humor that keep the narrative engaging. The tension builds to some sharp, unexpected twists that had me hooked from start to finish.

Quotes like ‘It’s not fun to be a woman. No matter how much we think the world has changed, it really hasn’t,’ and Kitty’s raw reflections on patriarchy and rage, make this book a deeply thought-provoking read.

If you want a book that tackles serious themes with honesty, humor, and edge, this one’s for you.

I loved this dark, twisty, and hilarious book! I dove mid series and I was ecstatic to discover this can be read as a standalone. I do plan on circling back to the first book because I adore Kitty! The twists and turns were so good! Just when I thought I had figured something out, I was completely wrong.

A very special thanks to HQ Digital and Harper Collins for the complimentary copy.

Kitty Collins is back!! Despite feeling the first book in the series was too far fetched for me to fully enjoy, I dived into this sequel throwing caution to the wind. Knowing Katy Brent writes in a fantastical manner made it easier to just enjoy Kitty being herself; realism does not need to factor into it. But…..sometimes I had a hard time getting lost in the story.

This time around Kitty is in a recovery of sorts; trying not to be the vigilante ridding toxic men from the world. Kitty struggles when an anonymous instagram account seems to be taunting her, grapples with her mother’s reentry into her life, and crosses boundaries with friends, all while living with her boyfriend. There’s plenty going on, but not much of it is compelling. I actually put the book down for weeks because I got bored. I was ready to give into Kitty’s crazy actions and instead I got let down.

The last quarter of the book really picks up and had some great twists! I would have liked Kitty to have encountered some more serious consequences to her actions. She gets out of her debacles too conveniently. Even though I took a long break from this book and found myself frustrated at times, I really enjoy these characters. If Katy Brent writes another Kitty Collins book, I’m definitely reading it to catch up with my “friends.”

Thank you to Harper 360 for this ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

4.5/5 stars Only bc you can tell how British these characters are and I'm a cold blooded American >:)

I love Kitty Collins. I hope we get a part 3, I would love to see what happens in her life next. So many more plot lines that I would love to see wrapped up, like Masie and the twins, more on Antionette, and if Charlie ever comes back (surely he forgives his murderous girlfriend, she's the love of his life!)

This book is like if Fleabag went full vigilante—and I loved every bloody second of it. Katy Brent serves up petty revenge with a side of killer one-liners in “I Bet You’d Look Good in a Coffin.” The heroine is messy, furious, and fabulous, and watching her unravel while taking down terrible men is equal parts hilarious and cathartic. It’s chaotic, twisted, and wickedly fun. Definitely not your grandma’s murder mystery—unless your grandma’s got a dark side.

I BET YOU'D LOOK GOOD IN A COFFIN - OMGosh! There are two books before this one, drats, I missed them. I hurt myself from laughing while reading this entertaining, hilarious, and slightly bloody story. I love the main characters and how family can be supportive. I live the story lines. I live the dialogues. I love the fact that even with all that was going on I was exposed to a lot of self-doubt and head garbage. I did not know this was a series, just slight mentions about past happenings, that it did not matter that this was my first read. OK, so I was slow on the uptake but I was so immersed in the story.

Kitty Collins, every wronged woman’s superhero. This book is a a must read for any feminist. Kitty is a baddie with a hankering for killing bad men. I laughed and cheered, cried and yelled. Can’t wait to see what Kitty ends up doing next!

I liked Katy Brent’s previous book ‘How to Kill Men and Get Away With It’ and this new book does not disappoint. It is murdery and witty in just the right amounts!

I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as How to Kill Men and Get Away with It, but I definitely hope this isn't the last we hear from Kitty Collins.

Kitty Collins is back! She is a fierce friend and protector so she takes matters into her own hands to get vigilante justice. This is filled with dark humor and strange family bonds but so entertaining. There are some great lines that just make you laugh and appreciate the dysfunctional Collins family. This is all set up for another in the series and I can’t wait to see what happens next. This would work as stand alone but you appreciate it more if you read the first book.

I love this series — and the second installment in Kitty’s story was no disappointment. The perfect mix of trashy fun, splashes of luxury, emotionally compelling characters, a moving motive, and a hot twist.

Your favorite female serial-unaliver is back with more wit and feminist rage. Kitty Collins has been trying to do better, but the men keep doing… men things. How can you expect her to hang the knives up for good if they keep being a-holes?

I love Kitty’s dark humor and how relatable this book is. I don’t love the issues it highlights. However, I do appreciate that the writing doesn’t sugarcoat anything.

This next chapter in Kitty’s story gives us a deeper look at her personal struggles and her complicated relationship with her mother. It was easy to connect with her motivations and understand why she goes to such extremes to protect those she cares about. And who doesn’t love a good family moment? The final clean-up scene was fantastic.

Charlie let me down, but maybe he’ll realize his mistake in Book 3… because there is going to be a Book 3, right?👀

Just like How to Kill Men and Get Away With It, I devoured this book.

Thanks to HQ and NetGalley for the advanced digital copy (released January 30th). The physical copy doesn’t release until June 10th, 2025 — and yes, I’ve already pre-ordered it.

I adore Kitty Collins, and am so glad she's back with a new story! This one is just as clever as the first, with the same dark humor that I love. The story was clever and I enjoyed Kitty's witty banter. The plot moved quickly, making the book hard to put down. I was shocked by the plot twist at the end of the book. Overall, a great read. Even better than the first in my opinion. Can't wait to read more from the series (which I am hoping is coming based on that ending!)
Thank you to Harper 360 for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

Sorry folks, it just isn't my thing. Too many triggers about gross personalized misogyny for me to find funny. The other stuff was good and very much of the satire genre.

I previously enjoyed author Katy Brent's "How to Kill Men & Get Away with It" featuring bad-ass anti-heroine Kitty Collins taking down men that "deserve killing" (as she puts it) so I was quite happy to get my hands on the follow-up "I Bet you'd Look Good in a Coffin". Once again we have Kitty out for blood and it's still the same dark & twisty, and snarky adventure in France. We also get a bit of back-story here too - why Kitty is the way she is. Raced through it and enjoyed it. I'm down for another please? My thanks to Net Galley & the publisher for my advance readers copy - greatly appreciate the opportunity to read & review it early.

First off, thank you NetGalley, Harper 360 and Katy Brent this amazingly hilarious book! It is always a treat to read early release of books and this one was fantastic!

This book is so so fun! I an obsessed with Kitty Collins! She is such a fun character. I love how flawed she is, all the mistakes she makes actually make me love her more. Her inner monologue kept me laughing the entire book. She is witty and sarcastic and honestly, she’s not wrong. Now, her methods are a bit out there, but it certainly makes for very very entertaining books.

This book is fun and fast paced, and the story moves really well. I liked that the story can be dark and twisty but then hilarious the next moment. I loved the character development that Kitty goes through. I really liked that at the beginning she really truly was trying to stop killing people. Kitty truly has a good heart. The backdrop of being in France was a fun change from London. But I loved that we still got all of Kitty’s crazy antics. There were so many twists and turns in the story and Katy definitely kept me guessing which I loved. Overall this was such a great & hilarious read!

Thank you again, to NetGalley and the publishers for this book in exchange for an honest review. And thank you Katy for Kitty Collins and this hilarious stories. I couldn’t get enough!

I absolutely devoured *I Bet You’d Look Good in a Coffin*! Katy Brent has once again delivered a darkly hilarious and gripping story that’s impossible to put down. This sequel picks up with all the chaotic charm and sharp commentary of the first book, and somehow manages to raise the stakes even further.

The humor in this book is perfectly twisted—witty, sarcastic, and just the right amount of outrageous. I found myself laughing out loud in one moment and holding my breath the next. Brent has a real talent for blending comedy with crime, and it makes for a wildly entertaining ride.

The pacing is relentless in the best way possible. There’s never a dull moment, and each chapter pulls you deeper into the madness. What I appreciated most, though, is that the book doesn’t just entertain—it has something to say. The themes around patriarchy, power dynamics, and the treatment of women in society are woven in seamlessly. It’s sharp, relevant, and adds real depth to the story without ever feeling preachy.

As someone who loved the first book, I was thrilled with how well this one continues the journey. The character development, the callbacks, the growth—it all feels earned and satisfying. Brent manages to balance continuity with freshness, keeping returning readers hooked while still making the story feel exciting and new.

I was lucky enough to receive an advance reader copy from NetGalley and Harper360—huge thanks to both for the opportunity. This book was a complete blast, and I’m already hoping there’s more to come. If you’re into dark humor, fast-paced thrillers, and feminist revenge stories with bite, do not miss this one!
