  • Critical Reception-Novel

    • "It has the headlong suspense and whopper of a story you would expect in any well-made thriller." - USA TodayUSA Today: Shutter Island Book Review (April 22, 2003)
    • "Unfortunately, Lehane's foray into psychological suspense doesn't hold the pop pleasures of his detective books. Shutter Island entertains just fine, but its impact evaporates the minute you turn the last page. For hardcore fans seeking a literary encore to Mystic River, the wait continues." - Entertainment WeeklyEW: Book Review: Shutter Island (2003) (April 1, 2003)
