Cari Mora by Thomas Harris
3.0
dark tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Initially, I was pleased to be greeted with Thomas Harris’ familiar writing style and some of the lines were worth highlighting. I was quickly overwhelmed with keeping the plethora of characters straight… however, I fell in love with Cari and finished the book for her part in it. The story is very much driven by plot, but I found when the plot built to its most pivotal moments, it fell flat. 

If you read Thomas Harris, this is short and I liked it, but it’s not his next greatest literary masterpiece.
