Going wrong

Guy (actually, though, his name) is an absolute cipher of a man, absolutely lacking in any moral character and seemingly incapable of bringing anything of worth to society. He's been in love with Leonora for far too long.

So, this is a book about obsessive love and stalking. Though (typical for Rendell) there isn't much in the way of “on-page” violence, it's still a deeply troubling read. You spend the majority of the <300 pages in Guy's head or around his person, and it's not a fun place to be. Despite a denoument that kinda flubbed for me, this is another masterpiece from Rendell - crushed it. Crackin' audio version as well.
