But whichever genre he's aiming for in this misguided effort—psychological suspense, cold war thriller or Grand Guignol melodrama—he misses it by a nautical mile The atmosphere is properly dark and moody, and so long as Teddy and Chuck stick to the manhunt and their investigation of Ashecliffe's creepy medical staff, they play their roles with muscle and grace.

Marilyn Stasio - New York Times. To read Dennis Lehane's Shutter Island is to enter a nightmare of madness, violence and deception. To finish the novel—and it would be criminal even to hint at its ending—is to be disoriented, perhaps angered, and finally to reflect on the ability of a master storyteller to play havoc with our minds.

If we could bring back Edgar Allan Poe and equip him with today's postmodern bag of tricks, he might give us a tale as unexpected and unsettling as Shutter Island. Patrick Anderson - Washington Post. Shutter Island is a tremendously satisfying thriller.

The suspense is molasses-thick with a plot that will keep you guessing. Lehane doesn't miss a trick. It's a great, fun read, and then there's that ending. You're sure to talk about this one over lunch.
