Description

The brand-new novel from the bestselling author of How to Kill Men and Get Away With it.

Featured as 'best books about female rage' in Stylist

‘All the twists, all the drama and wit sharp enough to slit throats’ Tam Barnett

* * * * * *

If a man hurt your best friend – like, really hurt her – what would you do?

Key his car? Or hunt him down and chop him into little pieces? Tough decision, I know.

I’ve tracked this lowlife to LA and brought my little sister Antoinette along for the ride. I'm trying not to be irritated that she's found a taste for murder and is leaving body parts all over our hotel. Because this girls’ trip needs a Hollywood ending.

And of all the men I've killed before, this one will be the sweetest…

Praise for To All the Men I've Killed Before

‘Kitty Collins is back and as sharp, funny and dangerous as ever and, with the arrival of her sibling sidekick, dare I say, endearingly tender too. When it comes to the patriarchy, Brent is killing it. Brava!’ Amy Beashel

‘Kitty’s finale is well worth the wait. God, we are gonna miss her but this is a killer’ Asia MacKay

‘Sharp in wit and blunt in murder weapon. I had a bloody good time rooting for my fave vegan serial killer as she strutted her gloriously gory way around Hollywood’ Charlotte Vassell

‘Whip smart and deliciously dark’ Kate Gray

‘Another sharply written, darkly funny take-down of toxic masculinity, with the added bonus of the spectacular Antoinette.' Sarah Clarke

‘The Kitty Collins books are a scream of rage against the patriarchy turned into good, bloodthirsty fun. I’m sad this is the end of Kitty’s serial killing saga but I’m delighted that she got the ending she so richly deserves’ Julie Mae Cohen

‘Devilishly smart and funny. A top summer read’ Rhiannon Barnsley

Readers LOVE Katy Brent!

'In a world of toxic masculinity and misogyny, we all need a Kitty Collins' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'A riot from start to finish… I'm hopeful that we haven’t heard the last of our favourite serial killer' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Full of dark humour, wit and misogynistic men getting their comeuppance’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

‘Being a man I really shouldn't like this book. Well I didn't like it. I loved it! Oh I just couldn't stop reading this.’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

How to Kill Men was an absolute treat to read, sending out American Psycho and Promising Young Woman vibes.’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was excited to receive an arc of the next in the series of Kitty Collins. Kitty is a character that will stay with you and won't forget! I loved the banter between the sisters and its hilarious yet so dark filled with twists and I just loved it. The author wraps up the story brilliantly and unputdownable.
The ending was perfect as sometimes in series they are not always executed right and this was perfect and can't wait to see what the author creates next and realised how twisted I must be to love this series so much ...!! Thank you very much to the publisher and netgalley for this advanced copy very grateful to get to read this so far in advance.

I had been looking forward to the third installment of Kitty Collins and I knew this one was going to be a good one.
Headed over to LA, Kitty had a job to do but so many things were causing her to be sidetracked.
I called one of the things that was revealed later in the book from pretty much the first couple of chapters.
This book did not disappoint and Katy Brent has done it again. Kept me hooked and I devoured the book in a couple of days.
Anyone who is a fan of CJ Skuse will definitely love this one.

The third volume in the popular Kitty Collins series, finds Katy Brent's feminist serial killer leaving these shores on a very specific mission. Picking up exactly where Book 2 (I Bet You'd Look Good In A Coffin) left off, this sees Kitty setting off for the sun-drenched hills of Hollywood, in pursuit of Aidan Ward, the duplicitous therapist who has beaten her best friend Tor half to death. Kitty's task is complicated by the fact she is recovering from a recent break-up and but also by the presence of Kitty's volatile half-sister, Antoinette, a younger woman whose insatiable appetite for killing very bad men exceeds even that of Kitty herself. And then there's the revelation that another serial killer is already busily engaged in killing young women in the area already.
Once again, in her fourth novel, Katy Brent has pulled off another triumph by producing another adventure which manages to be compelling, blood-soaked and witty.
Surely a Kitty Collins TV series can only be a matter of time?

Katy Brent does it again! But even better with the side kick of Antoinette added. Honestly these two together was everything we needed, they were hilarious! The dark humour is absolutely what makes these books so brilliant and it was 100% back with this third book. The story was brilliant, it was intriguing, it was intense, and it was fast paced. The twists were brilliant and there was quite a few of them which was great as it always kept you guessing, im quite sad that the series is over but it was all done so perfectly, a perfect series wrap up of revenge, humour, mystery with such an important topic weaved in in such a perfect way, thank you to Katy Brent for providing us these perfect stories with a main character who despite having her flaws, you just can’t help but adore.

I absolutely loved To All The Men I've Killed before, I was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what Kitty and Antoinette were going to do next, but I was so nervous all the way through thinking that time was running out for Kitty and she was going to get caught!

Absolutely loved the latest adventure of Kitty Collins! This time she has gone to the states on a revenge mission with her newly found sister. Some great new characters to the series and some more darkly hilarious mishaps with their murder sprees. These stories just get better. Well done Katy Brent on a well written and engrossing series. More please!! And I would just like to add there was a great ending too.

I’ve really enjoyed the Kitty Collins series.
Picking up almost exactly where the previous book left off, Kitty heads to Los Angeles alongside her delightfully unhinged half sister, Antoinette, on a mission fuelled by revenge, justice and obviously, murder.
I enjoyed seeing a more emotional side to Kitty in this instalment and whilst I’ll miss her, this was a great finale.

so bittersweet finishing this book and therefore this series🥲 did not want it to end one bit!!!

absolutely LOVED finally being back with my vegan feminist serial killer diva queen kitty🩷🩷🩷🩷 and getting to know antoinette more too, she’s so unhinged i love her! loved their bond so much too

love love loved the la setting!! love the fact we’ve got the chance across the series to see kitty kill in lots of different locations, adds a lot to the excitement (and stress) and la felt like a perfect place for kitty and antoinette

very glad for the loose ends from the last book to be tied up, this was honestly the perfect ending for kitty’s story, but i’m going to miss her so much!!!

of course had everything we could want in terms of kitty’s classic kills with some chaotic energy from antoinette too, and lots of fast paced and tense moments (my watch literally told me to relax at one point because i was so stressed LOL) and lots of classic kitty / katy brent humour which we LOVE

oh kitty im going to miss you so much🥲 katy brent please give us more!! or give us an antoinette spin off!!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

alllllllll the stars for this book of course, katy brent can do no wrong in my eyes <3333 my only complaint is that the series is over !!!!! i want more !!!!!!

could talk about this series and kitty collins forever, and i will recommend these books to anyone and everyone. as much as they are a comedy and unrealistic, they are a very important narration on how many awful awful men there are in this world and the fact that justice is never served and there will always be men who get away with the worst possible crimes. give me more feminist serial killers!!!!

thank you SO much to hq and netgalley for the arc, i could not be more grateful for the fact i got the chance to read this book early😭

To All the Men I’ve Killed Before is the gloriously dark final instalment in Katy Brent’s Kitty Collins series — and what a murderous send-off it is.
This time, Kitty swaps her usual chaos for the glitz of LA, teaming up with her sister Antoniette to hunt down her best friend's abuser. Revenge is firmly on the itinerary. But, in true Kitty Collins fashion, things are never quite that simple and their search quickly spirals into another deliciously dangerous mix of mystery and murder. Katy Brent once again proves she has a killer talent (pun absolutely intended) for keeping readers hooked. Her signature blend of razor-sharp wit, dark humour and wonderfully twisted storytelling makes this impossible to put down.
And that ending? Perfectly open-ended, deliciously chaotic and leaves our favourite serial killer facing a very unexpected new problem. Fabulous, witty, and wickedly entertaining — a fitting finale to a brilliantly unhinged series.

I love the idea that we have a rare female serial killer who has an agenda - to kill bad men only. A bit like a female Dexter.
This is another excellent outing for Kitty Collins. I had enjoyed the previous Kitty books and was looking forward to this one, and I wasn't disappointed, as I think this was the best one yet!!

This time Kitty finds herself Stateside, along with her half sister and protégé, Antoinette. They are on a mission to kill Aiden, the ex partner of Kitty's best friend, who beat her badly and almost killed her.
They get into some mishaps along the way, and as the bodies mount Kitty needs to work out how to get rid of the corpses, besides having to keep them hiden them from their landladies.

Then the murderous duo find themself on the hunt for the so called WeHo killer, a man who murders women, and leaves them at prominent Hollywood sites. The police won't even admit to this killer exsisting and are reluctant to look any further due to the women being members of a particular website that has been set up for mens enjoyment. Kitty & Antoinette can't let this slide so decide to go on the hunt, but Kitty still needs to concentrate on finding Aiden.

This book doesn't have a dull moment, and I love the way the sisters bounce off one another, even their bickering is enjoyable.
I did guess who the WeHo killer was, but that didn't spoil the story in any way.
There was one surprise at the end of the book, but I won't give any hints on this.
I can't wait for the next installment of the Kitty Collins saga.

I absolutely love Kitty Collins and I’m glad she’s back. Katy Brent writes so well and she’s fast become one of my favourite authors. Lots of dark humour, great characters and the best reasons for murder. I’m already looking forward to reading more about Kitty.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC in return for my honest and unbiased opinion.

The next book in the series of Kitty Collins. A loveable serial killer.
She’s on the prowl in LA hoping to give her style of revenge.

Fantastic quirky characters and an enjoyable read.

Only thing to add is that it’s a while since I read the earlier books and would have liked a quick recap.
