![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Marshals Teddy Daniels and Chuck Aule arriving on the island just ahead of the storm. Because nothing at Ashecliffe Hospital is remotely what it seems. As a killer hurricane bears relentlessly down on the island, hints of radical experimentation and covert government machinations add darker, more sinister shades to an already bizarre case. Multiple murderess Rachel Solando is loose somewhere on this barren island, despite having been kept under constant surveillance in a locked, guarded cell. Marshal Teddy Daniels and his new partner, Chuck Aule, come to Shutter Island, home of Ashecliffe Hospital for the Criminally Insane, to investigate an unexplained disappearance. I find something fresh each time through, and I’ve yet to read it in more than one sitting. It’s perfect for a sick day: it has large print, it reads quickly, and it’s absorbing enough to distract from flu-y aches and fever. Dennis Lehane’s Shutter Island is a horrifying book that I’ve read three times now. ![]()
