I believe I posted this on the Services offered board by mistake, so I’m reposting here.

Potential Beta Readers, I’m looking for direct and to the point feedback for this book.

If you're a fan of Chandler, Ross Macdonald, and Lawrence Block... you'll probably enjoy this. It's Matthew Scudder meets DCI John Barnaby. One reader said "Exciting, sexy and suspenseful. A full throttle thrill ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat right up until the end!" about the first book in the series. This isn't your typical murder mystery with a smart detective book, it's... nuanced, complex, witty and psychological insightful.

I wrote this book because the gap between the smart, untainted-by-humanity sleuth and the miserable, doomed detective with no hope has grown so wide. I wanted a detective who had real problems that threatened their happiness and contentment, but also drove them to overcome, both in the detection of crime, and in the fulfillment of personal obligations.

If you HATE the same old cheesy amateur sleuth without a care or doomed P.I./Detective without hope, but love complicated detectives with real problems they actually try to solve, then this book is for you.

Back cover copy
Sales Are Down. Murder Is Up.
Connor Pierce struggles to salvage the foreign car dealership his father left him, despite his mother's constant hindrance to every sale. Its the year 2000 in nationalist Eastern Montana, and he's kept the business alive through Y2K. His part-time P.I. business barely helps to make ends meet, and his routine absence displeases his wife. And he rarely sees his children.

When a major deal falls through, Connor does the only thing he knows to do�� find lost things and solve mysteries. He takes on a P.I. job 600 miles away, in the wild mountains near Canada, to help his rebellious sister find a missing child and make enough money to survive the holiday.

Then, things take a dark turn �� his reckless investigation style triggers a murder that lands his sister in jail. He must solve the murder to set her free. Local law wants him out of town and an underground network of human traffickers backed by East Coast gangsters run interference.

As the stakes grow, he must confront his family's long-standing grudges and trauma to clear his sister's name. The clock is ticking, and every step he takes brings him closer to the edge of a treacherous cliff with no safety net below.

I have beta reading, proofreading, and editing experience and have written many book reviews for books on different platforms. I can beta read a book of any length and can work with any book genre. I am hardworking, reliable, responsible, organized, detail oriented and meet deadlines. I am an effective cross functional communicator, rapid and adaptive learner, committed high receiver, skilled collaborator, dynamic solution-oriented professional. I love beta reading, proofreading, editing and writing reviews and look forward to writing yours.
I am interested in your book. It sounds like an amazing story. I am trying to get back into beta reading, proofreading, and editing after a hiatus and this would be a wonderful start. I have experience with a variety of genres and would love to find out if we are a good fit. I have worked with authors on ŷ������, Amazon, and Upwork. I am excited to get started since I love to read and review books. I look forward to hearing from you and wish you all the best in your book's success whether you choose me to work with or not.
Here are my Upwork reviews:
"Melinda delivered excellent work on this project and we enjoyed working with her. Her communication was top-notch, she met all deadlines, and her skills were strong. She adapted and learned whatever had to be learned. At one point we asked for an additional milestone, and she was very forthcoming and happy to meet our new, changing requirements. She was hands-on through the entire process. Her greatest strength has to do with seeing the tiny details, some of which we did not see ourselves. On a personal note, I enjoyed working with her and undoubtedly have additional jobs for her in the future. Don’t hesitate. Hire her!"

"I would work with Melinda again. Her prompt communication, adherence to deadlines, and cooperation was much appreciated, and mark her as a true professional. She's very skilled at what she does, and I couldn't have asked for more. Thank you!"

"Great work! Will definitely rehire for future projects requiring reviews."

"Amazing job! Would definitely recommend her!"

"Excellent job"
