Shutter Island by: Dennis Lehane


PLOT: In the year 1954, U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels and hsi new partner, Chuck Aule, come to Shutter Island, home of Ashecliffe Hospital for the Criminally Insane, to investigate an unexplained disappearance. Multiple murderess Rachel Solondo is loose somewhere on this barren island, despite having been kept under constant surveillance in a locked, guarded cell. As a killer hurricane bears relentlessly down on the island, hints of radical experimentation and covert government machinations add darker, more sinister shades to an already bizarre case. Because nothing at Ashecliffe Hospital is remotely what it seems.

OPINION: This book was awesome and I enjoyed every word of it. The book took me for a ride. I loved the ending - it took me by surprise. Two-Thumbs Up!!!
