Hi All: Just finished the Dennis Lehane book "Shutter Island". http://www.dennislehanebooks.com/
This book was definitely a more darker book then I usually read, but I enjoyed the plot twists all the same. There is a surprise ending to this book, that you may or may not figure out along the way with the little plot hints and codes given by the writer. The book is definitely better than the movie of the same name.
Synopsis: The story takes place in 1954 on an island off the coast of Massachusetts, called as you would guess, Shutter Island. The island is the home of Ashecliffe Hospital for the criminally insane. The lead character is U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels who has come with his new partner, Chuck Aule to investigate the disappearance of multiple murderess, Rachel Solando. Just as a hurricane is bearing down on the island, Teddy and Chuck find hints of medical experimentation and government cover-ups by the hospital, its Board, and the head psychiatrist, Dr. Cawley. Nothing on Shutter Island is as it appears.
Next up if I can grab a copy of the newly released book by Charlaine Harris is, "Dead In The Family". This is book 10 in the Sookie Stackhouse series and is the basis for the HBO series "True Blood", which will be starting season 3 in June.
