I jumped at the chance to review Chemical Attraction as I really enjoyed Cat’s Trucker, another Thompson novel. I’m one of those crazy readers that once I find an author I like I rush out to buy and read everything the author has ever written. I was definitely not disappointed with Chemical Attraction.The novel is well-written and has a good, believable story. The fact that Thompson has a degree in biology only makes the story that much more believable – and scary. At first, I found the novel a bit difficult to get into. There are various characters to get to know and there’s a lot going on. Within the first third of the book, however, I was digging the story and eager to solve the mystery along with Eva and Joe. Thompson keeps the action flowing and there is a lot of suspense.Even though this novel is the first of a series (which I didn’t realize – grrr…), there is a definite beginning and end to the story contained in this first book. Although the series has an obvious continuation, the reader is not left hanging. The only reason I’m giving this book four instead of five stars is Thompson’s tendency to tell the reader instead of show the reader. Thompson has obviously grown as a writer as this issue is less obvious in her other books. I’m looking forward to reading the next two novels in the series.I recommend this book to lovers of romance and a good heart thumping suspense novel.
