I could not put Agnes, Murderess down. Gothic horror meets feminist history in this deceptively spare novel of a 19th-century waif turned serial killer. Along the way, the characters and readers alike are haunted by considerations of power stolen away and seized back, colonialism, loneliness, desire, obsession, friendship, and even love.” — Annabel Lyon
