This is a fantastic, amazingly suspenseful tale of not only what psychiatry was like in 1954, but also what society was like then. And more of course but what fun would it be if I told you everything? If you've seen the movie previews I'm sure you can see that it's worth seeing and therefore VERY worth reading first. US Marshals Teddy Daniels and his new partner Chuck Aule are called in to investigate and find the missing woman.īut Shutter Island and Ashcliffe Hospital are not all that they appear to be and Teddy and Chuck must work to uncover the mystery quickly-all in the midst of a hurricane. And now, impossibly, one of the patients (or prisoners, depending upon whom you're talking to) has escaped. The criminally insane-an important part not to forget. On Shutter Island, off Massachusetts coast, Ashcliffe Hospital, a converted army base is now a hospital for the insane. I missed at first that Shutter Island was based on a book, but it is, one by Dennis Lehane, the author of Mystic River and Gone Baby Gone among others.
