A review by erincharp
Cari Mora by Thomas Harris

3.0

It seems a lot of people hated this book. I did not. It was not Hannibal Lecter, but then again, how can you really recreate that? The setting reminded me a lot of a Carl Hiaasen book, which I really enjoyed. Cari Mora is a woman living illegally in the US. She is care taker for what was one Pablo Escobar's house. Drawn by rumors of hidden gold, two groups attempt to find a hidden vault in a bloody fight for the finish. I somewhat struggled to differentiate between characters, but I really like Cari and her will to survive, as well as her backstory. I did feel like some of the character development was a little flat, but overall, it was a decent read.
