Help needed!
So, I have the story I wrote for the NaNoWriMo last year. I want to try and overhaul it, perhaps see if I can get something vaguely worth trying to publish (the basic idea is fairly sound, or at least, I think so). The problem is, I'm trying to figure out a fundamental structural thing and I can't without getting people to read it. Only, it's as rough as guts and I'm kind of embarrassed to have people read it before I at least do some editing. But I can't edit until I solve the structural issue.
Dilemma, yes?
So, biting the bullet here. I need some people to read it over, with only a couple of things in mind:
1) Is the concept worth trying to work on it some more? I think it might be, but I'm usually pretty pessimistic about my ability to come up with good ideas;
2) It's currently written from multiple 1st person viewpoints, with a different character 'talking' each chapter. Does that work for this, or should I pick one character to tell the story?
With those two questions in mind, and only those two (I'm really just looking for a structural opinion, not a full edit at this point, I'm really needing to stress that, since I know it needs a lot of work to clean up the plot and the general writing), who would be up for reading an urban fantasy/cop procedural of around 50,000 words?

Rossi, you are singing my FAVORITE SONG. It's like you typed all those letters but under them is secretly, in invisible. "Come reaaaaad me, Fritoo."

I did mention it was rough, yes? *wibble*

Semi Qualified opinion
Frank No Pants, as always, wants to give an opinion too but I'm thinking that will be counter-productive
