Suspect Red by L.M. Elliott
3.0
This looks into the paradigm on 1950s America during the Red Scare and the era of McCarthyism. It delves into interesting and relevant themes such as censorship and individualism, when you were encouraged to turn in any person you thought was sympathetic to Communism.
I enjoyed the allusions and mentions of "subversive" texts and people, as well as the photos and extracts placed between chapters, providing for an immersive and informative experience.
I disliked the slow pacing. Though the characters were relatively intriguing, I found it difficult to retain interest, especially through domestic scenes that had little to do with the main themes.
