About this listen
A resilient young woman must outwit a sadistic psychopath in this pulse-pounding thriller from the author of The Silence of the Lambs, a "master still at the top of his strange and chilling form" (Wall Street Journal).
Twenty-five million dollars in cartel gold lies hidden beneath a mansion on the Miami Beach waterfront. Ruthless men have tracked it for years. Leading the pack is Hans-Peter Schneider. Driven by unspeakable appetites, he makes a living fleshing out the violent fantasies of other, richer men.
Cari Mora, caretaker of the house, has escaped from the violence in her native country. She stays in Miami on a wobbly temporary protected status, subject to the iron whim of ICE. She works at many jobs to survive. Beautiful, marked by war, Cari catches the eye of Hans-Peter as he closes in on the treasure. But Cari Mora has surprising skills, and her will to survive has been tested before.
Monsters lurk in the crevices between male desire and female survival. No other writer in the last century has conjured those monsters with more terrifying brilliance than Thomas Harris. Cari Mora, his sixth novel, is the long-awaited return of an American master.
©2019 Thomas Harris (P)2019 Hachette AudioWhat the critics say
"The best of Harris's work, and this includes his latest, long-awaited novel, Cari Mora, has just that feeling of absolute, unquestionable reality. Through a combination of elements—a perfectly realized authorial voice, the steady accumulation of terrible details, an empathetic vision of lost and damaged souls—Harris has created a sense of dreadful intimacy that we cannot escape, that forces us to gaze at unthinkable things, and never look away. No one has illuminated this kind of darkness more thoroughly or effectively than Harris. It seems unlikely that anyone ever will."—Washington Post
"A less accomplished or ambitious writer might have crafted a worthy thriller with only one or two of the story strands that Mr. Harris weaves; but the several plot elements in Cari Mora are always in fine balance, as befits the work of a unique master still at the top of his strange and chilling form."—Wall Street Journal
"[Thomas Harris's] latest is another penetrating exploration of signature themes—the nature of evil, the persistence of trauma, and the strange, fateful gravity that so often seems to exist between individuals on either side of law and morality . . . It's an electric setup, and Harris handles the suspense as finely as you would expect from one of the genre's foremost practitioners. Cari Mora will keep readers up all night in the best possible way."—CrimeReads

Very well written and loved his narration
I love Thomas Harris' writing style and his plot development. I find that I am never able to mentally skip ahead because his stories are not formulaic. Very original and very enjoyable. I recommend this book.

Thomas Harris is a GREAT narrator.
I have no idea why people complain about Harris' narration. He is a very gifted narrator and he is perfect for the book (as most narrators would be reading their own works). His diction and parlance are flawless. His tone is great. I just don't get it. It's actually a real pleasure to hear him read.

Enjoyable but has an abrupt ending
This was a good book to listen to. It seemed to climax very quickly and end abruptly though.

disappointed
I'm surprised Thomas Harris wrote this. it's incredibly boring, the narrator was a really bad choice for this type of book as his inflections are non existent. let's not even talk about the Spanish...
I'm sad to say that I couldn't finish the book. I got about two hours in and I had to give up. I lost all plot due to the fact that I was so bored and not engaged with the narrator.
