Review: It took me a while to get into this one, but it could have just been my mood. There is a strong sense of foreboding the moment the island is introduced. It seems to be a sinister place, shrouded in mystery and horror. There are prisoners there who have done some terrible things. Things you don't even want to know about. A female patient has supposedly escaped, and Teddy has been sent to find her. Or has he? All of a sudden, you are flipping the pages, anxious to find out the truth. What's really going on here? What's really happening on Shutter Island? I was completely blown away by the answer.
Book Description: The year is 1954. U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels and his new partner, 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.
