Going Wrong (1990) is a novel by English crime writer Ruth Rendell.[1] An intense psychological thriller, its main theme is the nature of romantic obsession.
Synopsis
When he was a young man, Guy Curran led a local street gang and dealt drugs before falling madly in love with Leonora Chisholm, a much more middle-class teenager whose society minded parents naturally disapproved of him.
However, despite an initially passionate romance the fairytale soon subsides, and Leonora tells a distraught Guy that she has found a new love. This announcement sets off a dark chain of events that will lead Guy into obsession, stalking and finally murder.
