A recommended review

I don't often link to other people's reviews (since Sarah pretty much has that corner covered), but I do like to bring it to your attention when good work catches my eye.

Patrick Anderson reviewed Jonathan Santlofer's Anatomy of Fear yesterday in the Washington Post and it's an fine review that expresses very closely my own thoughts about the book. Since I won't be reviewing it, I recommend you read Anderson's take. (I also suggest you check out the book. Although I had some problems with it, what Santlofer did in Anatomy of Fear is fascinating and definitely of interest.)

The column also gives a brief mention of the ITW Thriller Awards, which was nice to see. The "Thrillies" (as I like to call them) don't seem to be getting a lot of play. A consequence, no doubt, of the abundance of awards in the crime community.
