Five stars for Ms. Hannah Kent. I listened to this book as an audiobook a couple years ago and it still sticks with me. It is beautifully written, making the world within the book extremely rich. Agnes is a character with no good choices, and yet, I left this story loving her none the less. One of the best books I have read in the thriller genre. Please read content warnings.
