Plot Summary
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?
Since Sandra Brown began her writing career in 1981, she has become the author of sixty-two best selling books, including Lethal and Tough Cut. In 2008, Sandra was given the Thriller Master award from the International Thriller Writer's Association. The award is the most sought-after award that the association offers. Sandra's books range from thrillers to romance. She has even written a powerfully moving story surrounding the events of The Great Depression called Rainwater.
"While Low Pressure is not Ms. Brown's best, it's still worth the time and money as she just does not write a bad book. The mystery isn't complicated (by Sandra Brown standards), and there are a couple of twists that keep things interesting. The heroine was a little bland and the hero is the typical surly bad-boy persona that fans of the author have come to expect. The story moves at a slower pace than I'm used to, but it kept me interested nevertheless."

Publisher Summary
When a tabloid exposes her personal life, a bestselling author reconnects with a man from her past to unearth the secrets behind her sister's murder.
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, published under a pseudonym to protect her family from unwanted publicity. But when an opportunistic tabloid reporter discovers that the book is based on fact, Bellamy's identity is exposed along with the family scandal . . . and she becomes the target of a vengeful assailant.
In order to identify her stalker, Bellamy must confront the ghosts of her past, including Susan's wayward and reckless boyfriend, Dent Carter. Dent is intent on clearing his name, and he needs Bellamy's help to do it. But her dangerous memories -- once unlocked -- could put both of their lives in peril.
Determined to learn the truth, Bellamy won't stop until she finds Susan's killer. That is, unless the killer strikes first . . .

" Didn't know who did it until the end. "
— Rosemary, 2/16/2014 -
" Not one of my favorite of Sandra Brown's books. I didn't really care about the characters and just read the book to finish it. Usually I plow through her books. This one didn't really do it for me. "
— Pat, 2/12/2014 -
" I may have just found a new favorite author! I've haven't read many crime books, but I'm off to find as many Sandra Brown books as I can. So many times I was POSITIVE I knew who the killer was, and although I suspected the real killer, by the time we find out it was them, I was sure the he/she wasn't it anymore. Since I've been on a "romantica" kick lately, the hot guy character didn't hurt, either! "

— Gloria, 1/26/2014 -

" I think it was the stereo-typical,super macho male lead character and the cheesy sex scenes that did me in. "

— Claire, 12/22/2013 -
" A very quick read and exciting because for once I had no idea who the murderer was until the story told me. Most enjoyable read. "
— Ruth, 12/13/2013 -
" This was an okay book to me - interesting but nothing spectacular. It does keep you guessing about who the killer is to the end but ending was still pretty predictable. "
— Amy, 9/29/2013 -

" This book is why Sandra Brown is one of my favorite writers!! Great suspense and a little romance makes my favorite type of book!! Loved it and couldn't put it down. My family was ignored a lot during the reading of this book!! Hate that she only releases one new book a year!!!! "
— Celina, 5/14/2013 -
" The book is suspenseful and page turning, but got a little drawn out in the end. This is my first Sandra Brown novel, will certaily read some other novels by her in the future. "
— Ion, 3/25/2013 -
" Typical book for this genre. The story moved right along, plenty of possible guilty suspects, sexual tension waiting to be released, mystery solved and all tied up in a neat bow in the end. I admit it, I'm a sucker for these books and this one didn't disappoint me :-) "
— Dianne, 2/7/2013 -

" A very riveting story of an old murder. Hard to put down right to the end. "
— Shirl, 12/21/2012 -
" I thought it was a very easy and quick read - what I would call a good beach read. Thinking about the characters, it makes you question what you would or wouldn't do for a child if your own happiness depended on it. Overall, I thought it was a good book. "
