In anticipation of the new Martin Scorsese film, Shutter Island, the book has seen a resurgence of popularity. This revival is well-deserved as Lehane's 2003 novel promises mystery and thrills at every turn. Follow U.S. Marshall Teddy Daniels as he investigates the disappearance of a patient from a hospital for the criminally insane and you'll see why this electrifying story warranted such an illustrious adaptation.

Whether you are new to the Southern Vampire Mystery series or an old fan, reading the newest by Charlaine Harris is just plain fun.
