Donna Anders outdoes even herself in SKETCHING EVIL. Known by her many fans for her ability to create a sense of danger and suspense-laden mystery, Anders is also conversant with the advances in modern-day forensic science. Her female protagonist in this book is a police artist, someone who unwittingly becomes caught in the trap she sets for a prowling rapist. There are shades of Jean Boylan, Frank Bender, and Mary Pat Gatliff, real-life artists who have an uncanny ability to draw the faces of someone who is hidden in the shadows, or recreate the faces of the dead by using a nameless skull, clay, makeup and wigs and, most of all, their own intuitive knowledge that seems to come from the voice of someone who cries out for justice. Anders's huge fan base will be delighted with this new--and most frightening--novel, and those who haven't yet discovered her will see what the clamor to read more and more Anders's novels is about! Start here, and work back through her other books. I think there are nine or ten psychological suspense novels--each one a bit more terrifying and mysterious than the one before. But be prepared: you will find yourself checking to be sure your doors are locked as you read SKETCHING EVIL. Highly recommended, and it also would make a great stocking-stuffer for your friends and relatives who enjoy this genre. Anders's books always scare me a little, but I'm afraid I can't stay away from them!
