Shutter Island
1 journaler for this copy...
I'd say you're best of reading the book without reading much about it and its plot
Summary:
"In 1954, widower U.S. Marshal Edward "Teddy" Daniels and his new partner Chuck Aule go to Shutter Island on a ferry boat to the home of Ashecliffe Hospital for the criminally insane, to investigate the disappearance of a patient, Rachel Solando, who has escaped the hospital and apparently the desolate island, despite having been kept in a locked cell under constant supervision.
Visiting Rachel's room, Teddy and Chuck discover a code that Teddy believes points to a 67th patient, when there are allegedly only 66. Teddy also reveals to Chuck that he is there to avenge the death of his wife Dolores, who was murdered two years prior by one of the inmates, Andrew Laeddis. The novel is interspersed with graphic descriptions of World War II and Dachau which Teddy helped to liberate. After a hurricane hits the island, Teddy and Chuck investigate Ward C, where Teddy believes government experiments with psychotropic drugs are being conducted. One inmate tells Teddy that Chuck is not to be trusted."

Here's my comment in the JE I made after reading the book as part of Moeshell's bookring:
"I loved this book! The style is easy to read and just flows, the plot almost never seems to stop developing, and even though I knew I could expect twists, they were not predictable (except for the last one) and I just kept turning the pages. If there ever was such a thing as a page turner, this book is it for me. I think I'll be getting a copy for my permanent collection! :D"
I bought this used copy from Better World Books, but it came a bit too battered for my permanent collection, as did the other one I bought at the same time, so these will be off sooner or later.
