Can somebody recommend any other books like this one. I mean not the same author but some story that will keep you guessing and then end in a complete surprise. Thanks.

I've not read "Shutter Island" but the other posts brought a manga to mind: "They Were 11" by Moto Hagio. It's set in the far future where 10 students at an academy are sent for their final exam aboard a space station. Right after they arrive on the station the lights go out, and when the lights come back up there are 11 of them. Since the 10 students were wearing head-to-toe space suits that completely concealed their identities from each other no one knows who the 11th person is or why he/she is there. Based on the above description of "Shutter Island", "They Were 11" is similar in that it will keep you guessing until the very end. It has been adapted as an excellent anime movie.
