Hmmm...Interesting overview of the McCarthy days, an
under covered subject whether fiction or non. Smith's approach seemed to bring forward a one sided appraisal of the political situation. Is it a reminder that we have always been so divided in our attitudes? At any rate, it was an average read (happy to have the ability to scan) but I wouldn't recommend it to my book club.

Easy read, easy mystery to solve, while hoping to discover a complex character in the Tea Farmer's Wife.
