Nate Rodriguez, a NYPD sketch artist, is drawn into an investigation where the killer draws pictures of his crime and victims before killing them. Rodiguez uses his skills to produce an image of an unidentified murderer who becomes a threat to him.
One unique aspect of Anatomy of Fear is the fact that there are pictures and sketches within its pages.
The book is billed as the ultimate in suspense by reviewers, however, I didn’t get into the story until I was about a hund More...

Ya, jalan ceritanya ada Nate Rodriguez, seniman forensik NYPD yang tugasnya menggambar wajah pelaku kejahatan berdasarkan uraian para saksi atau korban. Karna kemampuannya ini, Nate diminta bertugas untuk Detektif Terry Russo, yang lagi nanganin pembunuhan berantai. Kenapa? Karena ada 3 pembunuhan terjadi, di mana si pembunuh selalu meninggalkan sketsa pembunuhan di atas korbannya. Nah, si Russo More...

Novel yang "lain" karena diceritakan bukan hanya dengan media kata-kata, tetapi juga dikuatkan cita rasanya dengan deretan sketsa. Jalan ceritanya sendiri tidak terlalu kuat, sangat-sangat hollywood, terkadang sedikit membosankan (skipping pagessssss.... ^_^), lalu endingnya, ya begitulah. <spoiler>(itu kasus pembunuhan suruhannya Perry Denton gak diselesaiken ya! tempelan ajah, buat menguatkan kesan "psikik-nya" si Rodriguez) </spoiler>

This has to be one of the most exciting new books to come out in a long time. Santlofer brings considerable skills to his latest endeavor, as both an emerging talent over the past few years as a thriller writer, as well as a life long career as a significant artist, with work represented in various museums. Graphic novels have gained significant popularity in the past few years, along with a healthy new respect - these are not your childhood comic books anymore. Now that respect for the illus

I was expecting a lot more from this book, but it ended up being just like every other police/crime book that's out on the market. It was heavily loaded with awkward use of police jargon that made it cumbersome and a mental ability, a psychic artist if you will, that seemed quite far-fetched at points and shottily constructed. Don't put it too high on your lists.

Fascinating concept! The mystery centers around two sketch artists--a cop and a killer. The cop is likable with layers, and I look forward to reading more books featuring him. What sets this book apart are the drawings each makes are included in the story. I will definitely read the next Nate Rodriguez story and recommend this one for any mystery fan.

I really enjoyed this book because I enjoy crime stories and with its use of illustrations, it intrigued me to read it. It offered a complex but extremely interesting main character, Nate Rodriguez, (police sketch artist extraordinaire) and a somewhat familiar but compelling and well-thought out storyline. I'm now ready to read more stories about Nate.

Author and artist Jonathan Santlofer has combined his two passions in Anatomy of Fear, including the drawings of police sketch artist protagonist Nate Rodriguez woven into the the text. This visual aspect is intriguing and involving and will appeal greatly to fans of televised forensics. The main story of the book is interesting enough--a serial killer has begun to leave crime scene sketches on the bodies of his disturbing variety of victims, making him a challenge to profile and anticipate.

A police drama, into which a intuitive police sketch artist is drawn, unfolds in burst and starts, interspersed with bits of relationships, religion, office politics, childhood memories, etc. A lot like life.
I liked this book much better than the previous Jonathon Sandtlofer book I read. The execution (sorry for the pun) of the murders were not the major focus of the plot and the author, a highly respected artist, has woven his drawing skills into the plot in a way that is refreshin More...

Dikasih sama koko aku nih buku, soalnya dia ga mau baca buku fiksi..
Aku cuman baca nih buku beberapa lembar aja..
Soalnya bertele-tele dan agak membosankan menurut aku, tapi gambar-gambar sketsanya bagus :)

Not great. The pictures were good but the story was kinda blah. I didn't like the characters either. Not sure why I gave it two stars....

Listening to the author read it on the podcast, Anatomy of Fear. Really wonderful. He has a few more episodes before it is done and it is addictive. A police sketch artist must help track down a serial killer who leaves drawings at the scenes of his crimes. When the killer becomes aware of the police artist, he turns the tables on him. Exciting and with a touch of voodoo provided by the artist's grandmother in a humorous but also effective manner.

"Anatomy of Fear" is a visual novel of suspense that introduces NYPD sketch artist Nate Rodriguez. This book blew me away...great story that uses the author's artwork not just to advance the story, but to allow the reader to get into Nate's mind.
Here's hoping Jonathan Santlofer has more cases for Nate Rodriguez to investigate.

Good, quick read. Nothing extraordinary but entertaining, if not a bit predictable. The added sketches were something new and different.

A really good story read by the author. I enjoyed the storyline and the characters. The sketches mentioned in the story can be found on the authors website. I liked the different dimensions of the book and the way the characters progressed. It's one that would have me picking up the sequel.

This was a fun book to read. It is a story of a New York Sketch Artist whos solves crimes through his drawings. What makes this book different is you see the sketch develop througout the story until you see the actual criminal. Sometimes it is chilling. Good read

I liked this well enough but did not find it super interesting. Parts of it moved too slowly and then it concluded too quickly. I have one more of this author's books to read but will put it further down the pile of books to be read.

This is one of the most unique mysteries I have read. It is the first (of two that I know of so far)revolving around police artist Nate Rodriguez. It is filled with his sketches, thus making it visually appealing as well.

Yang bikin buku ini menarik dan beda dengan buku-buku suspense lainnya, karena di dalamnya pengarangnya menyertakan ilustrasi. Ceritanya sendiri sebenernya biasa aja, seperti layaknya novel-novel sejenis ini.
