Review - I Bet You’d Look Good in a Coffin by Katy Brent

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

Publisher: HQ Digital

Release date: 30 January 2024

Back cover blurb: My name is Kitty Collins and I’m a serial killer. I don’t want to kill. It’s just so hard to resist. Some men really, really deserve it. Men like Blaze Bundy, an anonymous influencer spreading misogyny online. He’s making it very hard for me to control my murderous urges. Meanwhile I’m in the South of France to watch my mother marry a man I’ve never met. I should be drinking cocktails and focusing on my tan, not plotting a murder. But a woman’s work is never done. Surely one more teensy little kill wouldn’t hurt, would it?

I've not read the first book in the series, but I wish I had. Although I had read something very similar, which is also highly recommended.

This is not your conventional heroine story, Kitty Collins is not your average heroine, in fact she is a serial killer. But she only kills very bad men.

She has been on a reformative streak more recently, having met one of the 'good ones', she has been determined to make her life more 'normal' and settle down with her man.

But fate (if you will) has other ideas. 

Kitty is receiving messages online from the misogynistic Blaze Bundy. He is exactly the sort of man that the old Kitty wouldn't have thought twice before killing.

Now she is desperate to show some self restraint, and also doesn't want to jeopardise her new relationship. But Blaze must still be stopped somehow.

Meanwhile Kitty learns that her Mother is getting married, to a man she barely knows, and who Kitty has never met. 

Her Mother is wealthy... Surely this can't be good?

Can Kitty keep her reservations to herself and attend her Mother's wedding, or should she dig a little deeper into the fiancée's life, and find out if he is worthy of her Mother's love and affection.

Whatever path Kitty decides, she knows it is going to be tough, and that's without Blaze constantly messaging her. He seems to know so much about her. 

It's high time he was stopped....

I Bet You'd Look Good in a Coffin is available now via Amazon online and all good book shops.
