Praise for Richard Brumer’s novels from selected readers’ reviews:

 

“The Chemist’s Shop was so unbelievably good I can’t begin to calculate the amount of stars it should receive. This was one of the most heart stopping and heart wrenching books I’ve read in a long time. From the first page to the last page it was a true masterpiece. If there is any one novel you want to be sure to read make it this one. Couldn’t put it down.”

 

The Chemist’s Shop: “Due to my love of thrillers embossed with real world possibilities, I purchased this book based on the intriguing premise. Now, after consuming the material over a nice quiet weekend, I can happily attest that it was a superb read. Dr. Ross is a gravitating protagonist due to the conflict of his character. For the author to tailor him as a healer, only for opposing actions to arise, sets the book up for an elucidating psychological study as well. I at once sympathized with him and questioned what I would have done in the same situation once he meets Hans and begins to slowly unravel the moral fibers that were so adhered to in his life prior. Also, the story begins in a fascinating manner during WWII; vividly foreshadowing events to come. That’s one of my favorite aspects of this author’s writing. It is a complicated and illuminating character study swathed inside a unique tale that traverses the line between justice and vengeance. If anyone else is looking for a stellar novel that knows how to keep you entertained and piqued throughout, you definitely can’t do better than this one. I, for one, can’t wait to read more from this talented author.”

 

The Last Sunrise: “I enjoyed reading so much. Thanks for taking me along. I felt the breeze, the waves and the sunshine on my face. I smelled the ocean and heard the dolphins as I watched them play while the deck rocked beneath my feet. Oh, the stars! What an awesome journey!”

 

Gelt Without Guilt: “I loved this book. Richard Brumer, who is the author of beautifully written novels such as The Chemist’s Shop, Meeting Max, and The Last Sunrise, has changed course with this hysterical romp about two elderly gentlemen who invent a new way to get rich. Jack and David believe there has to be more to life than sitting on the beach and watching pretty girls while lamenting their lost youth. Can having more money buy them happiness? Original and hugely funny”

 

Meeting Max: “This novel was the best book I read in a long time. It’s a suspense thriller wrapped around a tender love story. A chance meeting on a plane to India leads a man to an exciting new love, but after a surprising number of twists and turns, a mystery unravels and he finds himself in the middle of a violent terrorist plot while searching for his son. The book is a bit long but I was happy for that. I was glued

to the page.”
