The Chemist

The Chemist

Stephenie Meyer

In this gripping page-turner, 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 U.S. 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 bestselling authors.

Reader Reviews: Stephanie has produced a well-researched story of intrigue and spy-kind of stuff. It is exciting, challenging and very entertaining. I didn’t think this kind of mystery-thriller was for me, but I found the detail in it intoxicating. Even if the ending isn’t exactly unguessable, I enjoyed the ride.

This is a interesting read. What I expected for the heroine is tough as nail but it turned out she is a nerd and a Very Smart one.This book is packed with action and remind me a bit of Jason Bourne. However, if you are expecting something like steaming romance, this is probably not for you. There is romance but it’s not the main focus of the book, still, I love this book! (Booktopia)
