exactly, except I'm not sure I agree they were the best books on the list. I originally voted for one of the Nesbo books.

Along Came A Spider wasn't bad, but it's pretty basic stuff and I can see getting nothing extra out of reading the book.

So I'm going with Shutter Island. It won't be thrilling to me since I know what happens, but at least the book may delve a little more into everything, and I really liked the atmosphere. It was a good thrilling film with a great mystery and story, so I expect the book will be good too.
I have now voted for Shutter Island, as I've read the Patterson twice.
