Summary

Marshal Teddy Daniels has come to Shutter Island, home of Ashecliffe Hospital for the Criminally Insane, to find an escaped murderer named Rachel Solando.

As a killer hurricane bears down on the island, the investigation deepens, and the questions mount. How has a barefoot woman escaped from a locked room? Who is leaving them clues in the form of cryptic codes? And what really goes on in Ward C?

The closer Teddy gets to the truth, the more elusive it becomes. And the more he begins to believe that he may never leave Shutter Island. Because someone is trying to drive him insane....

Lehane at his best

One of the best books I've ever listened to. Mystery, action, thriller and a dose of psychology.

Lehane makes you feel for the characters, creates picture perfect images in your mind and keeps you hooked right to the end.

Narrator does a fine job.

What more do you want out of a book?

As good as the film!

Ive already seen the film so knew the plot.
However, if reading it before watching, I would say there are enough twists and turns to keep the reader hooked.
The film is very true to the book

mixed bag

An intriguing story to begin with as the story unfold. A disappointing ending. Felt cheated by it.

Loved everything about this Audiobook

Although some of the subject matter was somewhat unpleasant at times I enjoyed every bit of this book - excellent narration and a wonderful, engrossing story (even if it was a tiny bit far-fetched in places) ...

One of my favourites

I loved this book! Great story, fantastic and unexpected twist at the end which, having never watched the movie, left me gobsmacked! I would almost listen to this all over again.

Fantastic

I don’t normally leave reviews but I just want to say how enjoyable this book is, brilliantly read and gripping from start to finish. I really don’t think it makes any difference as to whether you have watched the film first, highly highly recommended

A brilliant story, brilliantly told

I saw this book as a film years ago on a plane and remember thinking how clever and shocking it was. I wanted to read the book to see if the source material was as good (because books usually are better) and I wasn’t disappointed.

Even though I had a vague memory of the story and the ending, it still had me gripped. I couldn’t put it down (or take headphones off!). The narrator is one of the best I’ve heard yet. He really bought something extra to it.

Buy it, you’ll not be disappointed.
