## Customer feedback

Aggregate ratings lean positive, with most ratings in the five-star category, while a smaller share are three- or two-star. That offers a generally favourable but not unanimous signal, and does not establish what listeners liked or disliked. The listing describes a 9-hour, 2-minute unabridged mystery, so the format may suit listeners wanting a substantial narrated story rather than a short listen.
