dont put as much of your own oponion into the summary and work on transitions between sentances. also talk more about why he visited the killer if it says in the book.

Where is the thesis statement? Instead of just writing a sentence or two about each chapter, expained the ideas and explain the overall plot of the book.

there is a lot of your own opinion in that usually is not used for just a summary. it also seems to go step by step, just telling what happened. more detail or important information could help it,

The summary leaves out a lot of what is happening in the novel and only really summarizes the first 50 pages. It also seems like you are unsure of what the facts about the novel are. The unsure tone stems off of you using your opinion to explain a lot of what you think is going on. By using exact details of the story and explaining why these things happen your summary will be much more involved.

The chapter by chapter theme you seem to have almost drags out the summary you wrote, maybe smoother transitions. Or maybe going into more detail about what's going on.
