Product Description:
The year is 1954. U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels and his new Âpartner, Chuck Aule, have come to Shutter Island, home of Ashecliffe Hospital for the Criminally Insane, to investigate the disappearance of a patient. Multiple-murderess Rachel Solando is loose somewhere on this barren island, despite having been kept in a locked cell under constant surveillance. As a killer hurricane bears relentlessly down on them, a strange case takes on even darker, more sinister shades—with hints of radical experimentation, horrifying surgeries, and lethal countermoves made in the cause of a covert shadow war. No one is going to escape Shutter Island unscathed, because nothing at Ashecliffe Hospital is remotely what it seems.

This book will grab you from the opening chapter and ceases to release even after the cover is closed. As you travel with Teddy through the asylum you soon find there is more than meets the eye. The place holds a multitude of secrets, each terrifying and the twists just keep turning. There is no telling what will happen next yet each event falls perfectly into place leading to the ultimate climax.

DL sets a wonderfully imaginative (sinister, brooding) scene in SI. The writing is fast-paced; the characters well-drawn; the story interesting throughout. That said, the reader knows to expect some great twist in due course. And whatever certain book-jacket critics may say about having been blown away when it was revealed to them, I find it hard to believe they really were. All roads lead, pretty early on, to one likely shocking ending for SL, and the likeliest shock is the shock you get. It's ... Read More

The whole novel is completely given away very early on.
It really isn't a mystery at all for those of you who enjoy a good Who-dunnit.
If you've ever completed a simple anagram puzzle in your life, please save your $7.99 and read something else.

Now I don't generally read a lot of mystery/suspense thriller type stories unless they are heavy on the psychodrama, so I wasn't entirely sure what I was getting into with this one. I heard the movie was lousy, and to me, the trailers almost made it seem like it had some paranormal aspect to the story. I wasn't sure if it was a horror, a mystery, or what, but, as a general rule, I always like to read a book before I see a movie. I found the ebook price to be reasonable, so I decided to give it a shot. ... Read More

This book was really difficult for me to get into, but once I finally sat down to read it, I couldn't put it down.
The ending is what makes it the best...the twist is awesome! If you love a mystery....this is great!
