Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Brilliantly conceived and executed...To read Dennis Lehane’s Shutter Island is to enter a nightmare of madness, violence, and deception...Its shocking outcome kept me awake, deep into the night, as I began to grasp what the author has done to my innocent mind—and he will do it to yours, too, if you let him.” —Washington Post Book World
“Combines the claustrophobia of...Agatha Christie...with the creepiness of a good Stephen King yarn...Good luck putting this one down.” —San Francisco Chronicle Book Review
“One difference between simply listening and having a listening experience is Tom Stechschulte. He doesn’t merely perform characters; he channels them. Main characters, doctors, nurses, inmates, and orderlies have believable individual voices and personalities. Lehane twists a devastating hurricane, possible unethical experiments, and enough secrets to justify paranoia into a psychological thriller that works...Stechschulte’s magic makes it work the rest.” —AudioFile
“Another blistering page-turner...A master of the adroit psychological detail, Lehane makes the horrors of the mean streets pale in comparison to the workings of the human mind.” —Booklist
“A lollapalooza of a corkscrew thriller.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Startlingly original…instantly cinematic… unfolds with increasing urgency until it delivers a visceral shock in its final moments.” —New York Times
“Fasten your seat belts for a bumpy, breakneck ride…utterly absorbing…is an express train with no local stops…engrossing.”  —Boston Globe
“The ride this novel provides is as good as entertainment gets.” —Miami Herald
“Audacious and chilling...Shutter Island is a superbly constructed novel that manages to be at once gripping, surprising, and discomforting...It evokes comparisons to Edgar Allan Poe’s tales...Lehane is very good indeed.” —Houston Chronicle
“Get ready to shudder on a trip to Shutter Island...a tremendously satisfying thriller...a great, fun read...The suspense is molasses-thick with a plot that will keep you guessing...Lehane has created a dark work with terrific dialogue and a troubled protagonist...And then there’s the ending...Mystic River raised the bar for Lehane; Shutter Island puts it higher still.” —Denver Post
“Nightmarish…it’s not a book to start before bedtime. Even if you finish before dawn, Shutter Island will trouble your sleep.”  —Orlando Sentinel
“Chilling...a perfect thriller. But for mystery writer extraordinare Dennis Lehane, elaborate plots and vivid settings serve as mere backdrop for showcasing his greater talent; a prodigious ability to develop unforgettable, emotionally textured characters.” —Providence Journal-Bulletin
“A terrific suspense novel.” —Publishers Weekly
