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

The hilarious new novel from the bestselling author of How to Kill Men and Get Away With It and The Murder After the Night Before

'I was rooting for Kitty even as she killed more men (oops!). Funny and twisty in the best of ways' Tasha Coryell

***********************************************

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?

'Brent is brilliant at cutting right to the (literal) heart of misogyny, using her trademark acerbic humour' Amy Beashel

'Darkly hilarious… Come for the sharp-tongue prose and pitch-black comedy, stay for the careful dismantling of toxic masculinity' Laurie Elizabeth Flynn

Reviews

'Dead good…the conspirators, snakes and schemers burst off the pages.' Peterborough Telegraph

'It's probably wrong to admit that reading about a serial killer is comforting but there is something hugely reassuring about sinking back into Kitty Collins' world in IBYLGIAC. This time we go way deeper into Kitty's psyche, and I thought the author did an incredible job making her human and sympathetic �" especially given the whole 'she's a serial killer who loves mashing up bodies in abattoirs' side of things. It's darkly hilarious too, of course, not to mention packed with some gorgeous south of France glam. I was gutted when it was over and stared at the next books on my TBR a little bit accusingly for not being this one.' Caroline Corcoran
