Pharmacology professor Michael Ross retires from the world of academia in 1970 and opens a community pharmacy in a peaceful upstate New York town. He puts the horrific tragedies of his past behind him and finds serenity in his new life. That is, until he recognizes a customer as former Nazi SS officer, Hans Stern. Michael looks into Stern’s cold, steel-blue eyes, clenches his fists, and boils inside, remembering how his three young daughters were taken from him and gassed, and his wife, Ilona, was tortured, raped, and stripped of all dignity by Stern twenty-five years earlier in Auschwitz. Face to face with this evil being, Michael forces himself to stay calm. In that moment, he experiences two opposing but related feelings. One is anger, the other exhilaration. He could not protect his family then, but he can avenge their deaths now. It isn’t just about killing Stern. That would be too easy. His death has to be slow, painful, and diabolical, and it begins with a game of chess…

There are so many good, thoughtful, and very well researched books on the Holocaust out there. This, sadly is not one of them. The writing is stilted, the characters speak in oddly formal tones, the story itself goes in twenty different directions, and the premise ( of a man seeking revenge on his Nazi tormentor) while it is a good one, comes off as totally unbelievable. How this got so many starred reviews on Amazon is beyond me... The author must have a lot of friends :( My suggestion if you want a book on this topic is to read Sarah's Key, or All the Light We Cannot See... Even Once We Were Brothers is better than this.
6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. A tense, thriller you won't put down. By Pete The Chemist’s Shop is the story of Michael Ross, a Jew in Nazi Germany, whose wife is tortured and raped while his beautiful, young daughters suffer the gas chambers. Twenty-five years later, Hans Stern, a former SS officer walks into Michael’s pharmacy in upstate NY.Michael recognizes him immediately and spends every moment planning revenge.The scenes between Michael and Hans are thought provoking. Their chess games become a metaphor for their relationship. Michael wants the truth, but is he prepared for it? The conflict between Michael and Hans intensifies when the Nazi attempts to justify his actions by citing loyalty and duty.The novel builds to an unpredictable climax that will leave The Chemist’s Shop imprinted on the reader for years to come.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. It is not common for me to read a book in only a couple of sittings and I would like to say By Bob Beebe The Chemist's Shop by Richard Brumer is thought provoking psychological thriller that quickly grabbed my attention and did not let go.It is not common for me to read a book in only a couple of sittings and I would like to say, this was one of those books. The pace is lively and creative, yet logical which helps to make the novel a pleasure to read. The book has two main characters- a Nazi officer and a Jewishprofessor of Pharmacology who met briefly at Auschwitz during the Holocaust in the 1940s. In a quite believable sequence of events thesetwo meet again in the year 1970 in America at the Chemist's Shop. The Chemist's shop in the story is a pharmacy in upstate New York whichthe professor recently started as a new career/investment to coincide with his retirement from the university.The Chemist's Shop is actually a number of plots woven on many levels over many timelines spanning years. Twenty five years later [1945 to 1970] a location an ocean apart and even the Anglicizing of the two main character's names can not stop fate from bringing these two peopletogether. It is a tragic love story, a story of inner moral crisis and a conflict of emotions, a duel between two people. There are flashbacks where the main character daydreams and speak to his deceased wife, a diary of sorts which lends depth and context to the storyline, cleverly placed clues which help to add suspense as the plot unfolds. I also found the book was quite educational and raised many ethical and philosophical points concerning the history of the two World Wars. The Chemist's Shop was one of the most original books I have ever read. I believe it reflects very much on the life of the author and his obvious love for the craft of writing. I strongly recommend this book.
