Crime Thriller Beta Reader Needed

I’ve just wrapped an 88,000-word crime-thriller and now need a fresh set of eyes before moving on to final edits. I’m mainly interested in two things: how smoothly the plot holds together and whether the pacing—especially in the opening chapters—keeps you turning pages. Your task is to read the manuscript straight through, jotting notes whenever a scene feels slow, repetitive, or confusing. When you finish, I’d like a concise report (one to three pages) that summarises: • any plot holes or logic gaps you noticed • moments where the tempo drags or your attention slipped, with page references • an overall impression of engagement level from start to finish I don’t need line-by-line corrections, grammar fixes, or a chapter-by-chapter breakdown—just an honest, big-picture reaction that will help me tighten the story. A two-week turnaround would be ideal, but let me know if you need a little longer. A love of gritty thrillers is a plus; confidentiality is a must.
