Shutter Island
So far i'm really enjoying my new book, Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane. This taut original thriller concerns U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels who is stationed at the Ashecliffe Hospital looking for an escaped murderess. This murderess, Rachel Solando, drowned her kids and then sat down for a meal. "It's as if she's evaporated into thin air" states the Island chief psycholigist ominously. The book makes you feel as if you're trapped on the island with no way out, just like Daniels and his good-cop partner Chuck Aule. The book is meticulously crafted and very scary. You never know what is going to be thrown at you. I can't wait to read this book some more, as it is the very esscence of the classic page turner. There is an obvious reason why this book's about to become a Martin Scorcese picture.
