Murder. It's a tragic event in the life of any family. It's also something that demands answers. Sandra Brown's Low Pressure is an incredible journey for the murder mystery fan. If you love solving crimes, this is one audiobook you'll enjoy from beginning to end.
Low Pressure follows the story of Bellamy, whose life was turned upside down when her older sister Susan was killed when Bellamy was only twelve years old. Bellamy's memory of the event is fuzzy, and the fact that the murder scene was destroyed by a tornado on that fateful Memorial Day eighteen years ago doesn't help matters any.
In an attempt to deal with the loss of her sister, Bellamy publishes a book about her sister's murder that becomes a best-selling novel. Even though she uses a pseudonym to protect her family's privacy, it isn't long before a nosey tabloid reporter uncovers the truth...the whole truth.
The result is a deep desire to find answers. What really happened on that day eighteen years ago? Who might have some answers for Bellamy? Who among the people Bellamy loves the most might be trying to cover up a huge secret? And will she remain alive long enough to find out the truth?

Bellamy Lyston was only twelve years old when her older
sister Susan was killed on a stormy Memorial Day. Bellamy’s fear of storms is a
legacy of the tornado that destroyed the crime scene, along with her memory of
what really happened during the day’s most devastating moments.
Now, eighteen years later, Bellamy has written a
sensational, bestselling novel based on Susan’s murder. Because the book was
inspired by the tragic event that still pains her family, she published it
under a pseudonym to protect them from unwanted publicity. But when an opportunistic
reporter for a tabloid newspaper discovers that the book is based on fact,
Bellamy’s identity is exposed along with the family scandal.
Moreover, Bellamy becomes the target of an unnamed assailant
who either wants the truth about Susan’s murder to remain unknown or, even more
threatening, is determined to get vengeance for a man wrongfully accused and
punished.
In order to identify her stalker, Bellamy must confront the
ghosts of her past, including Dent Carter, Susan’s wayward and reckless boyfriend—and
an original suspect in the murder case. Dent, with this and other stains on his
past, is intent on clearing his name, and he needs Bellamy’s sealed memory to
do it. But her safeguarded recollections—once unlocked—pose dangers that
neither could foresee and put both their lives in peril.
As Bellamy delves deeper into the mystery surrounding
Susan’s slaying, she discovers disturbing elements of the crime which call into
question the people she holds most dear. Haunted by partial memories, conflicted
over her feelings for Dent but determined to learn the truth, she won’t stop
until she reveals Susan’s killer.
That is, unless Susan’s killer strikes her first.
