## Customer feedback

Aggregate ratings are mixed rather than strongly one-sided, with three-star ratings the largest group and both one- and five-star responses represented. That spread suggests reception varies, but it does not reveal why readers rated the novel as they did. Consider the premise and literary psychological-thriller focus when deciding whether it suits your tastes.
