Shutter Island


Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane.

Review:


I recently saw a preview for the movie "Shutter Island" and I wanted to read the book first. The book was so good! It's about a Federal Marshal named Teddy who is sent to Shutter Island to investigate the disappearance of a patient at a mental institution. That in itself tells you not to trust any of the characters. I don't want to disclose too much information because it is such a great book to read. It's full of mystery and some of the dialogue is funny. I greatly enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more by Dennis Lehane. I don't know why it's taken me this long to pick up one of his books (with all the success of the screen plays) but now I can't wait to read "Mystic River" and "Gone Baby Gone".
