Can't Wait Wednesday/Waiting on Wednesday #541: I Bet You’d Look Good in a Coffin by Katy Brent

 


Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that had been hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine where we spotlighted upcoming releases we are eagerly anticipating. I'm now linking up with Can't Wait Wednesday hosted over at Wishful Endings

From the publisher:

Your favourite anti-heroine, Kitty Collins, is back! Expect more wit, sass, and, of course, murder…

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?

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

I Bet You'd Look Good in a Coffin by Katy Brent is due out June 10th, 2025 from Harper 360.

Why am I waiting on this book? It's different from most of the other mysteries I've read. A female serial killer story told with dark humor sounds interesting. I want to know more about what motivates her. And I look forward to the humor in the book, even if it is dark humor.

What book are you waiting on? Share it or a link in the comments so we can check it out and maybe add it to our TBR lists. Thanks for coming by and Happy Reading!

    1. Yes, humor is always a plus. Your pick for the week, Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid, doesn't look like light reading, but it does look interesting. Hope you enjoy it!

    1. It does look fun. The title of your pick, Play Nice, seems like it could have some humor, but once I read the description, I'm not so sure. Still sounds interesting though. Hope you enjoy it!

  5. Kitty and the woman protagonist of my current read would get along well. They are both women serial killers. This sounds like a fun read. I hope you enjoy it when you read it!

    2. It was The Serial Killer's Guide to Marriage. Hazel was the characters name. I hope we both enjoy Kills Well With Others when we read it. The first one was really good!

  6. I'm curious what kind of men "really, really deserve it" in her book. I'll have to keep an eye out for this one.
