A Map To Paradise by Susan Meissner

Set during the McCarthy era, we meet three women.


Melanie has been blacklisted because she was seen with a producer that they think is a communist.


Eva is a Polish housekeeper for Melanie.


June lives next door to Melanie and is taking care of her brother-in-law who won’t come out of his house because of an accident he caused a while ago.


The odd thing is that June won’t let anybody see Elwood, and it’s a puzzle where an agoraphobic person would go.


Elwood must be there because Melanie hears a typewriter clicking.


How will these women - all with secrets - become connected?


A MAP TO PARADISE started out slowly for me, but once the background information of each character was revealed and their predicaments were revealed, I enjoyed a thoughtful, well-researched read.  4/5


Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book.  All opinions are my own.
