Title: Tepid at best
Product review: Figure of Eight is a long drawn out supposed to be thriller that never hits on all cylinders. The main character, Ellen, is a forgettable and nearly unlikable sort. She's a hermit and it comes out in that she doesn't even want to let the reader into her life. Peter, the supposed hero of this tale, is private security hired to protect our cloistered ex skating star from a stalker and comes off as a stalker himself.The bad guy in this book is a pathetic little jerk who's just begging to be ground into the carpet. Add in an even weaker story line about an IVF clinic that hires weirdos, and you can see that this book, like Ellen, is headed for anything but greatness.
