About this listen
In Rendell's evocative portrayal of West London, the slums of Notting Hill Gate and the mews houses of Holland Park may, geographically, only be streets apart but, socially, they are worlds apart. When these two worlds collide, the repercussions are fatal. Guy, from a council flat in Notting Hill Gate and Lenora, a wealthy middle-class young girl were childhood sweethearts, and despite Lenora’s mother’s disapproval, belonged to the same criminal gang. But as they grew older, Lenora became increasingly distant as she grew apart from Guy. Turning his innocent love into a dangerous, psychopathic obsession. When Leonora announces her engagement, Guy knows there must be some mistake - and he is determined to right it, at any cost. As he becomes the victim of his own murderous madness, nobody is safe.

Strange Story
This was a very different story to that which I usually listen to.
I thought it a strange story, but could not stop listening. I was waiting for something else to happen. Some of the conversations were a bit pointless. But, as I say, I couldn't stop listening. I didn't particularly like the voice for the characters. It was just one of those strange stories that you have to listen to right to the end.

That was different
A Rendell novel like I’ve never read before but it sucked me in and I didn’t want to stop listening.
The energy of the narrator was addictive. Strangest most sudden ending I didn’t quite expect.

Fatal Attraction Suspense
An engaging ..typically Rendell suspense drama about obsessional infatuation and the games people play. Loved the story and the dramatic narration. Fabulous!! Thank you Audible.

A deranged mind!
It took me a long time to settle into this story told in the first person of a deranged man. It was actually quite cleverly done but hard going.

Worst Ruth Rendell book ever!
I’m a huge fan of RR, so I’ll jump onto any book of hers I come across, and have never been disappointed…until now. This was the worst book, not only of RR’s but also of most of the books I have ever read. Absolutely appalling and completely dull. I wish I could turn back the clock and regain those wasted hours spent on Going Wrong. I should have applied the 30-minute rule and called it quits ages ago. I feel sorry for the narrator who had to endure all those hours reading and recording it.

Good god don’t not start it never ends
A more unrealistic picture of a cool t rolling person couldn’t be replicated. Certainly not today. The character would have shot everyone including himself and punched his girlfriend in the face if not shot her as well.
