Feedback please?

Hi everyone

I have posted my prologue and part of my first chapter in shared works and was hoping for some feedback as I've changed it quite a bit by removing a lot of the backstory. I've also added a prologue which casts some doubt on the protagonist. I'm not sure if it works, and whether I've made it worse rather than improving it - think I need to take a step back for a while! Anyways - any feedback would be much appreciated. I'm happy to have a look at anything of yours in return.

Thanks in advance

Congregations, Clare, on discovering Jimmy's secret alias! I've known him for years, work with him now, and he's always managed to keep it hidden from me... Until now!

You can run, Jummy, but you cannot hide! Hahaha!
