Beneath the Watery Moon by Betsy Reavley.

Annabel is 23 years old and has been discharged from Redwood hospital in Suffolk where she had treatment for manic depression. Can she turn her life around, maybe a holiday in Southwold can help?


The cover promises “A psychological thriller with a stunning twist” but I was neither thrilled OR found anything stunning, never mind a twist. I found Beneath the Watery Moon to be a tiresome drag of a book. I very quickly lost any empathy for Annabel and when a gardening tool came into “play”, I could not care about her anymore. I thought this debut novel was a dreadful read and if ALL books were of such poor quality, then I would take up another hobby.


I found the shifts between dreams and reality were frustrating. The writing was dreary and became a drag. Betsy rambled on and on about nothing, making your head feel like cotton wool. The story lacked focus, the plot was amateur and the ending was bad. I think this book is RUBBISH and is a book to be AVOIDED.


I vote Beneath the Watery Moon the minimum score of 1 star and I shall not bother reading another of Betsy’s books.

Beneath the Watery Moon was written in 2014 and is available as an Amazon Kindle eBook.
