- Audiobook buyers looking for a blend of relationship drama and criminal tension.

## Customer feedback

Aggregate ratings are more favourable than unfavourable overall, but include a notable middle and lower-rated share. This gives a cautiously positive reception signal, not a clear account of what listeners liked or disliked. The figures do not establish whether the author’s narration or the story’s mix of relationship drama and criminal threat suits a particular listener.
