I'd like to nominate a book on
The Reader's Digest "Best Thrillers of All Time" list:
Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane (2003).
Inkmesh has a longer review, but the
first lines of the Amazon Hardcover edition review makes it sound engrossing:
Quote:
Summer, 1954.
U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels has come to Shutter Island, home of Ashecliffe Hospital for the Criminally Insane. Along with his partner, Chuck Aule, he sets out to find an escaped patient, a murderess named Rachel Solando, as a hurricane bears down upon them.
But nothing at Ashecliffe Hospital is what it seems.
And neither is Teddy Daniels.

Reader's Digest says: "Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane (2003), will not only scare you silly but fool you as well. Just try to guess the ending."
