Publisher's summary

Bellamy Lyston was only 12 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, 18 years later, Bellamy has written a sensational, best-selling 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....

Very NORA ROBERTS

At 1st I did not like the narrator's voice. But then I started to get into the book and I have to say it was surprisingly wonderful. To me, a book is exceptional if you can see the characters as you're listening/reading it. I definitely saw the characters

Kept me guessing

I became very engaged with this book- and found myself looking for more and more time to listen to it. The plot kept me guessing until the very end. The characters were well developed and performed well.

loved it.

Have rarely ever read one of Sandra Brown's books that I didn't like. Great story line. well read

Low Pressure

Captivating

Great storyline!

Where does Low Pressure rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Low Pressure is one of the best audiobooks I have listened to this year.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Lots of action and plot twists. It had the perfect combination of switchbacks from one characters story to another always leaving you waiting to get back. And what a surprise at the end.

Have you listened to any of Stephen Lang’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened to Chill Factor and enjoyed it - but Low Pressure is my favorite thus far. Both stories do a great job of character development which I believe is critical to any story. You learn about the characters and try to think what they will do next - it keeps you coming back.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

History haunts the town after a terrible storm results in murder.

Any additional comments?

I particularly enjoyed Stephen Lang's narration, accents and character shifts in both Low Pressure and Chill Factor.

Is sex necessary in a mystery?

Loved the story but feel sex scenes were not necessary to the main story line.

Great story but language issues

Great story and keeps you guessing. A bit of a different approach with good characters. The author is unable to develop the characters without using Gdamn, the F word and explicit details. Spoils what would otherwise be a great story.

Sandra Brown Delivers Another Favorite

Great story, great narration. Hot and sexy, engaging and entertaining. So glad I chose this book to listen to.

Another Great Story

Sandra doesn't disappoint. Great story. Full of twists and turns. Narration isn't the best. Still worth the listen.
