Heya, Eros. Casanova here to do a review for you.
Ah, an introductory chapter, so not much to say for that. Anyway, onward.
Really one of the only things I have to say about this is grammar, relationships, and approach. So let's approach that.
The first thing is grammar. I would suggest instead of wording it as,"the crimes," you just use,"crime." Short, sweet, and to the point, and nothing gets lost with wording and the reader isn't focused on that slip up for the next ten chapters. Anyway, onward.
Since this is an introductory chapter, I figured you'd want to at least describe some of the relationships that people have with each other. Sort of, like, how the react and their strengths and weaknesses, sort of giving the reader into a bit of an insight about the characters themselves, to see if they relate and a general idea of how the characters are going to "play" together in the work force and outside of the work force, so to speak. Really that's up to you, I figured I would throw that out there.
Another thing is the approach. There's nothing dramatic about this, and there's nothing that hits me in the face like BLAM. I would suggest messing around the edges and find a dramatic way to be like BLAM into the readers- so they have a strong emotional feeling towards it right off the bat so they're hooked from the get go- instead of turning some people off of your book by not engaging them right off the bat(some people wont read more than the first chapter if that chapter isn't engaging.)
Anyway, that's all I have to say on this one and I hope it helped.
Keep on doing what you're doing.
Sincerely, Casanova
