Dark Beach by Lauren Ash.

Jenny goes on holiday with her husband Ron, their daughter Kip and their dog Charlie to stay in a beach house at Rocky Shores.

With a title of "Dark Beach" and a moody start to this novel, you hope for an exciting mystery. WRONG. This is a moody tale of a pregnant woman on holiday. Sometimes you go on holiday and you wonder why other tourists actually bother to go away. Well with Jenny and Ron droning on about the beach house, you just want them to pack up and go home so that you can read an entertaining novel instead.

Dark Beach is a poor read. It does not entertain but just drones on with it's hints of forgotten mystery surrounding the beach house. Dark Beach is all promise and very little action. I developed no empathy for any of the characters. This book was a drag to read and I hoped it would improve towards the end but it just droned on. The ending was disappointing in the extreme.

I took nothing away from this book except that I am glad I am not married to a boring woman like Jenny. Dark Beach is available as a 291 KB Amazon Kindle eBook that was written in 2012. Thankfully I obtained a free download and did not pay for this very poor attempt at a novel. Lauren Ash does not have the skill for storytelling and I vote her book only 2 stars.
