I'm looking for a Beta reader for a Mystery/Suspense Novel. It's only 41K.

Synopsis: The MC's wife is murdered by a serial killer and he becomes obsessed with finding out who the killer is and taking revenge.

Basically I'm looking for constructive criticism of the book as a whole. You can be as harsh as you like.

I'm (finally) re-writing a mystery, too, and would like to swap beta reading with another writer in the genre. However, mine will be twice the length of yours. Not a fair trade, I think. Too bad.

I think I'd be interested in this; I'm also open to possibly swapping stories (I read yours, you read mine), even though it's only 10k right now, but it will be longer. PM me if you want to.
