Cari Mora by Thomas Harris
1.0
It's been a while since I read The Silence of the Lambs and Thom bought me Cari Mora when he saw that it was Thomas Harris' new novel.
I don't even really know where to start. Cari herself is alright. Her story as a child is somewhat interesting and in my opinion would make a better story. Also, every character that meets her only views her as a sexual object, which gets tired really quickly. Instead, we're given Hans-Peter Schneider, a stereotypical villian. There's no depth to him, no depth to any of the characters really. His crew are so unremarkable that I can't remember who's who and as they get killed a new one comes along with another unremarkable name and description. The basic plot is that there is gold buried under a house that used to belong to Pablo Escobar, in a box that has been booby-trapped. It's a shame because it had the real potential to be a great story, but it was just... *meh*. I considered giving up several times and now that I'm finished, I don't really remember much of what happened. Stick with Hannibal.
