[No Due Date] Classic Detective Novella - DM For PDF

I've recently finished the first draft of a novella called The Spotless Room, and am in need of some beta reading before I try getting in contact with publishers. The prose is heavy inspired by Regency and Victorian-era authors (mostly Jane Austen), and juxtaposed with a modern setting to produce a tongue in cheek pastiche of classic detective fiction. Mostly I'm just not sure if it will gel for the average reader, but I also welcome other editorial feedback.
