Mystery and crime book reader audience targeting

This is a 2 option poll with 100 respondents targeting Gender identity (Female, Other, Non Binary) and Mystery and crime book reader (Yes). A sample of responses:

• Blue Screen of Death is a horrible title. Please delete this from choices.
• This title to me seems to make me more curious and it also seems a bit creepy.
• Blue Screen of Death makes it sound more like a mystery and is, of course, a reference to the infamous computer malady as well, giving the title a couple of different meanings.
• B is a little more serious and more relevant to the situation. Brings it all together in a way that has a double meaning and makes sense, also memorable and short but emotional.
• 'hands free' is more curiousity inducing, and has more positive connotations that would entice a reader to look closer. 'blue screen of death' is fairly dated.

This is a 8 option poll with 100 respondents targeting Mystery and crime book reader (Yes). A sample of responses:

• I like G the best because I think it fits with the scenario perfectly since the friend is someone she hadn't spoken to in years. The rest of them are somewhat okay but none of them really fit the scenario like G does. It gets my attention first.
• I like Echos the best because it intrigues me and seems to fit the described situation. It doesn't sound like either of the friends "ghosted" the other and "shared experiences" sound somewhat sexual in nature.
• I think autopilot is good since it is referencing driving gigs.
• I'll be honest: based on the synopsis given, none of these titles listed appealed to me. Why? Because none seemed to pertain to the plot. I went with G, because with "Someone I Used to Know", it implies that the focus is on Amelia's former friend and how she died although it is kind of general and could literally be about anything in regards to someone Amelia knows. I chose E next just because I like how it sounds. Also, you could say the hearing her friend's voice in the video recordings causes Amelia to experience constant hearing of echoes of their friend which drives them to solve the murder. B sounds nice and would be perfect for a murder mystery but I don't think of "blue screen of death" when it comes to driving. More like computers or other forms of technology unless it's taking about the video recordings? I don't know. Both F ("Life and Death on Autopilot") and D ("Ghosted") can also be good titles which is why I chose those two next, but again I think they're better suited for other mystery books, not necessarily this one. I didn't care at all for H,C, and A. They could work, but not for this book. Overall, I would advise to come up with another title altogether but if I HAD to pick, then again, I'd go with G.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Mystery and crime book reader (Yes). A sample of responses:

• I like the blue screen in the title. That is just very visual and mysterious sounding.
• Digital Echoes is a very intriguing name. Amelia has to dig into a digital past and listen to the echoes that can ring forward for a long time. The other option just makes me thing of all the times my computer froze and I had to reboot.
• I like option A more because it seems like a better fit for a story about finding out and sharing one's digital past.
• I like "Digital Echoes" very much because the "digital" lets me know this book involves technology, and the "echoes" makes me feel mysterious and curious about what the book is about, so I would definitely want to read "Digital Echoes."
• A much more memorable and instantly recognizable title in my opinion.

This is a 2 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Mystery and crime book reader (Yes). A sample of responses:

• The title incorporates the fact the story is about digitalization while also referencing the mystery part with the choice of the word echoes.
• Both descriptions and graphics are identical in Option A & B except for the title. I prefer Option A with the "Digital Echoes" title. It's a cool name, a little murky and misty,and interesting. Option B with "Hands Free" sounds ordinary and not too appealing.
• I think option B was more intriguing because "hands free" makes me think of cell phones and how attached to them we all are. Option A's title sounded a little bit too much like a B class sci-fi film.
• Hands free sounds like an automated car accident about to happen. Digital Echoes gives me chills.
• TO me, Digital Echoes has a more mysterious and spooky vibe and I would be intrigued enough by the title to pick it up and read the description. After reading the description, I would purchase the book.

This is a 1 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Mystery and crime book reader (Yes). A sample of responses:

• 1. I love the cover as it fits the idea of the book and the title well. 2. The blurb gives a decent idea of the book theme3. No issue with the name
• The cover would catch my attention, the book in general sounds interesting and as for the author name, it’s fine but I’m not sure I’m pronouncing it correctly.
• I love the cover of the book and the blur . It would make me want to buy it and read it. However, the title I am not so fond of
• 1. I love the cover. It's very color and it definitely catches my attention which is great.2. I think the blurb is nice. It gives people a little insight into what the book is about and it can interest people in getting it.3. The author's name is not an issue. Plenty of authors put their names on the front cover.
• I think the blue and orange are a striking color scheme for sure. My eyes are drawn to the front image and I think it looks really professional. The back cover however looks quite amateur. I do like the quote that's differentiated in yellow and think that's a smart touch. I'd definitely pick this book up to see what it's about. Sadly though I don't think I'd end up reading it once I realize it's about boring men and their violence and also there's no real fire involved as far as I can tell. The name doesn't bother me at all and I think it's sad that it's even a consideration.

This is a 6 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Mystery and crime book reader (Yes). A sample of responses:

• I prefer the color scheme and size of the lettering on the cover of option E. It is eye-catching and appealing.
• The font in F and E is too large. A stands out because of the red font.
• E, because the title is large and easy to read. F because the title is large, but the red makes it a little harder to see. D and B look the same to me. C, because the yellow makes the title stand out more. And A because the red lettering makes the title stand out less.
• I made my choices this way because I felt that the red text was a lot better for a book about a serial killer. I also felt that the text should not be too big or small.
• I like Option E the most because the gold font and sizing really matches the green grass and frames the book very well. Option D is good too but I would prefer the font to be larger for the title. Option C I ranked third because I liked the color but the way it is arranged on page makes it look cluttered. Option B is okay but I don't like the white "of the" in the middle of the title as its jarring. A is not good in my opinion because the red clashes, and F is even worse because the red clashes and fills up even more of the cover.

This is a 6 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Mystery and crime book reader (Yes). A sample of responses:

• only the first 3 catch my attention - F is best then A then B. the other 3 E C and D are a little cliche.
• the first one nobody lives in youngstown sounds the most appealing got my point of curiosity to check it out also everyone dies in youngstown sounds like horror thriller i like that
• I like a vague name for a mystery novel. It adds to the mystery. The reason I chose the ones I did as my favorites is because they have mysterious names.
• Tell me your lies sounds mysterious. Very interesting
• I have chosen the titles that excite the imagination but are not too obvious and trivial

This is a 3 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Mystery and crime book reader (Yes). A sample of responses:

• Option A because it's simple and mysterious.
• I like C because I think Perry's demise sounds the most interesting. It gets my attention first because I want to know what his demise is.
• I like the one that says forsaken. Choice B is okay too, but I like just plain forsaken. Choice C sounds a little too morbid.
• Naming the character intrigues me, where as soul forsaken is to long
• A sounds mysterious and b does too. C is meh because at this point I don’t know or care who perry is

This is a 3 option poll with 100 respondents targeting Audiobook listener (Yes) and Mystery and crime book reader (Yes). A sample of responses:

• I like A the most because I think the image of the body bag goes well with the content of the book and it is also intriguing. I then picked C because I like the table and board on the cover are reminscient of a police room and go well with the contents of the book as well. I then picked B because it is a bit boring and I wish it had an image of something other than what looks like blood splatter.
• reminds me of a john grisham book
• C is simple and too the point while the other 2 books looked like it tried to hard to seem intriguing.
• I find option B the most eye-catching and appealing and would buy this book. I like the way the wording is colored too.
• I think C is the best option for a book cover to me because I really am interested in those boards detectives use to solve cases. It would make me feel like an I was reading an insiders view. My second choice would be A, because the body bag looks very dramatic. My last choice would be B, because I really couldn't even make out what was on the cover.

This is a 1 option poll with 50 respondents targeting Gender identity (Female) and Mystery and crime book reader (Yes). A sample of responses:

• I believe this is the Alamo, in San Antonio Texas
• I have absolutely no idea- it looks fairly western so maybe Texas? It doesn’t really scream east coast which I think of as more brick, same with southern.
• The Alamo in San Antonio, Texas. location is famous for the battle of the Alamo in 1936.
• It is the Alamo and it is located in Texas.
• I am unsure, but it looks like it would be in the south
