I’ve always loved a good detective story—gritty cases, clever twists, and that slow build toward justice. Writing one, though, was another beast. My plot was solid, but the pacing needed work, the clues weren’t clicking together the way I wanted, and the tone kept veering off-course. I needed someone who could help me tighten it all up without dulling the suspense. British Proofreading’s book editing service delivered exactly that. The editor brought structure to the chaos. They helped me fix timeline issues, strengthen character development (especially the detective’s arc), and guided me in improving the mystery itself—making the resolution feel both earned and surprising. They also smoothed out dialogue, cut scenes that didn’t serve the plot, and pointed out subtle inconsistencies I’d completely missed. After the edit, the story felt leaner, sharper, and more satisfying. It’s the kind of crime novel I’d want to read—paced just right, with red herrings in all the right places. If you’re writing in the detective or crime space, this is editing that doesn’t miss a single clue.
