A review by davidkeithley81
Cari Mora by Thomas Harris

3.0

I want to preface this by saying this is not a terrible book. It’s not even a bad novel. It just...lacks. It lacks the characterization, depth and overall plot structure to be a good story. I have always been a fan of Harris, and his book, “Silence of the Lambs” is transcendent. However, the story seemed to run out of steam about 2/3 of the way through. I was left wanting so much more. Cari, our main character, was written fairly well. I cared for her, wanted her to triumph over the evil Hans-Peter. However, the other characters were 2-D at best. Hans himself was a weak “bad” guy, a watered down Hannibal if you will. Terry, the detective, was thin at best. I do recommend the book to Harris lovers...just with caution. This is not his best work.
