Thirteen years is a long time between books, but that’s how long we’ve waited for a new one from Thomas Harris.
But was “Cari Mora” worth the wait?
Well, sort of.
It’s a perfectly good thriller. It follows some rather unscrupulous characters trying to get their hands on gold buried under Pablo Escobar’s house in Miami. The lead character, Cari Mora, is a Columbian woman looking after the house. But she’s more than capable of looking after herself, too . . .
So far so good. But then you remember that this was the author who gave us “The Silence Of The Lambs”.
While the book is a decent thriller, you can’t help but expect just a little bit more from Harris. He touches the surface of the characters, but you’re left feeling that he could have weaved in a bit more intrigue and depth.
It’s not a very long book. So if you fancy putting your feet up this weekend and reading it over a few sittings, it’ll be worth the investment.

Tracey Steel Having worked on a number of magazines over the years, I have found my perfect place on the “Friend” as I’m obsessed with reading and never go anywhere without a book! I read all of our stories with a mug of tea close by and usually a bit of strong cheese too!
