Description
In this gripping thriller, an ex-agent on the run from her former employers must take one more case to clear her name and save her life.
She used to work for the US government, but very few people ever knew that. An expert in her field, she was one of the darkest secrets of an agency so clandestine it doesn't even have a name. And when they decided she was a liability, they came for her without warning.
Now she rarely stays in the same place or uses the same name for long. They've killed the only other person she trusted, but something she knows still poses a threat. They want her dead, and soon.
When her former handler offers her a way out, she realises it's her only chance to erase the giant target on her back. But it means taking one last job for her ex-employers. To her horror, the information she acquires only makes her situation more dangerous.
Resolving to meet the threat head-on, she prepares for the toughest fight of her life but finds herself falling for a man who can only complicate her likelihood of survival. As she sees her choices being rapidly whittled down, she must apply her unique talents in ways she never dreamed of.
In this tautly plotted novel, Meyer creates a fierce and fascinating new heroine with a very specialised skill set. And she shows once again why she's one of the world's best-selling authors.

Fantastic in every way.
An amazingly well written novel with am equally incredible reader. The story was brought to life in such a vivid way I could actually see the movie playing in my head. Loved every minute of it.

So hard to put down a compelling read
What made the experience of listening to The Chemist the most enjoyable?
It was not only unexpected but totally original. I got into each character, no exceptions, and kept thinking this cannot get any more interesting or surprising and it did.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Obviously I suppose the female chemist and her role was so compelling and she had it so together, was competent, quick thinking and skilled.
What about Ellen Archer’s performance did you like?
I reckon he did a great job, never lost my interest for one moment
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I would have loved to but actually it was nice to look forward to and oh did I feel empty when I had finished.
Any additional comments?
More please

A tad slow at times, but a good story
I don't care who wrote it, I'm just looking for a good book. And this one is worth a listen.

This book is NOT a Thriller!
This book is definitely not a Thriller! It should be listed under ROMANCE! I actually expected a lot more. I loved the Twilight books but was quite disappointed from this one. First because I expected a Thriller and it wasn't one and second because the story was very flat and sometimes even disturbing. Not very imaginative nor very gripping but very wordily....

A definitively fast paced spy novel, very different Meyer book...
This was a Clancy type spy book , viewed the female perspective.
Am ready for the sequel already...All the characters seem very real/have good depth. Adding the interesting interaction with the dogs made you feel as if not just 2 bit 3 different storylines were running parallel to each other. Can reccomend for both fe/male readers. Make sure you have time to finish reading once you begin...

Folter = legitimes Mittel zum Zweck
Hätte ich mal auf Eva hier gehört! Ich konnte es mir ja nicht vorstellen und hoffte bis zum Ende auf eine Wendung diesbezüglich aber nein, Folter wird hier tatsächlich als zwar grausames aber völlig legitimes Mittel zum Zweck (viele Menschen retten) verkauft. Wer das nicht ganz so sieht wird keine rechte Freude am Hörbuch haben.

Interessante Story mit einigen Längen
Viel Liebe in brutalem Umfeld von Folterspezialisten, CIA-Agenten etc.. Man will auf jeden Fall erfahren, wie es ausgeht. Manche Wendung ist bewusst überraschend gestaltet.

ging so...
Ich fand die Geschichte nicht gerade fesselnd, die Handlung war z.T. vorhersehbar und der Anfang war spannend. Dann entwickelte es sich zu einer unnötigen Liebesgeschichte, als müsse man entweder der Hauptfigur weibliche charakterliche Züge verleihen.

Gutes Handwerk, schlechte Geschichte
Das Buch ist spannend, keine Frage. Frau Meyer versteht ihr Handwerk. Aber mal ehrlich, die Geschichte ist in weiten Teilen unglaubwürdig und gespickt mit unrealistischen Dialogen und Widersprüchen. Dabei fängt das Buch vielversprechend an, man weiß nicht, in welche Richtung sich die Geschichte entwickeln wird. Doch dann trifft die Protagonistin Daniel und ab da handelt sie eigentlich nur noch unlogisch, die Dialoge sind nach meinem Empfinden absurd gemessen an den Situationen, in denen sie spielen. Das Buch hat mich schon gefesselt und ich wollte auch wissen wie es ausgeht, aber zwischendurch dachte ich immer wieder, wie unrealistisch die Geschichte ist. Schade eigentlich, denn Talent zum Schreiben hat Frau Meyer sicherlich... Insgesamt hat mich das Buch leider nicht überzeugt und ich würde es nicht weiter empfehlen. Wer es nicht ließt verpasst wirklich gar nichts...

spannend und humorvoll gesprochen
der Sprecher hat super gesprochen... Ich hab mich richtig in der Geschichte gefühlt... Und musste oft schmunzeln. Sehr spannend nach einem langatmig Anfang.

Spannend aber teilweise langatmig
Ich persönlich liebe Ellen Archer als Vorleserin! The Chemist erzählt eine spannende Geschichte mit sympathischen Charakteren. Allerdings schwächelt die Story gerade im mittleren Teil etwas; sie kam mir langatmig vor. Die Romantik hätte ich nicht erwartet und passt erstaunlich gut in das Buch, auch wenn es hier mehr Spannung hätte geben können. Dennoch kann ich dieses Hörbuch sehr empfehlen! Ich finde die Story originell und überwiegend interessant.
