The 28-point gap is the rating-inflation signature for this title — the casual crowd liked it more than discriminating reviewers (a classic inflation pattern).

Summary

Liars, Leakers, and Liberals: The Case Against the Anti-Trump Conspiracy sits at the 28th z-normalized percentile across 5,285ranked books. The z-percentile differs from a raw star average because Rankquant subtracts each reviewer's personal baseline before aggregating — so a reader who rates everything 5 stars carries less weight than one who rates discerningly. Raw-average percentile is 55; the gap between the two measures how much bias-correction changes this title's standing. How percentiles are computed.
