Low Pressure
Sandra Brown
Fiction
Sandra Brown is another romance author
I used to love who suddenly turned to more suspense/mystery style novels. So
disappointing, but what can you do? I still pick up her new books on occasion,
and this was one of those times.
Low Pressure is the story of Bellamy,
a Texas woman who has written a best-selling novel based on the horrific murder
of her sister, Susan, during a tornado many years ago. A lot of people are
upset about this book, people who have secrets to hide and want them to stay
that way. One of these people is Dent, Susan’s boyfriend at the time of her
death. As Dent and Bellamy bond over their screwed-up lives, she gets closer
and closer to finding out the real reason she’s blocked most of that fateful
day out of her mind.
As I’ve stated many times, I’m not a
big fan of mysteries. But Ms. Brown is a good writer and sucked me in with lots
of twists and turns, making me extremely curious as to who was responsible for
Susan’s death. I’ll admit it, too, the twist of who did it surprised and
pleased me. My only complaint would be how many scenes were just two people
talking and remembering. I wanted more action. But when the main thrust of your
story happened almost twenty years ago, that’s a little hard to avoid.
If you’re a Sandra Brown or murder
mystery fan, you’ll like this book.
