Book description
A wonderful comic novel from the bestselling author of 'Eats Shoots
& Leaves'.
Belinda Johansson is a woman frantic, overwhelmed by the demands of
work and home. Having it all? Pah. Belinda doesn't want any of it. Deep
in research for her magnum opus - a definitive account of the
doppelgänger in classic gothic fiction - she fails to notice the echoes
of these ghoulish tales disturbingly close at hand. For not only is the
cleaning lady taking over her life, but the identity of her husband,
Stefan, is also in question. Is he a harmless geneticist from Sweden, or
actually a cunning clone? Why is the cleaning lady's previous employer
having a breakdown, and what on earth has the rat circus got to do with
any of this? 'A classic comic novel, unashamed, exuberant, fiendishly
clever, and a joy to read.' Daily Telegraph
'“Going Loco” is wonderfully underplayed, unpredictable and
unexpectedly sinister.' Sunday Express
'Sings with glittering prose… delicious.' Time Out
'A complex plot, chock-full of “characters”, slapstick and mystery…
achieves laughs through real inventiveness.' The Times Lynne Truss is
one of Britain's best-loved comic writers and is the author of the
worldwide bestsellers 'Eats, Shoots & Leaves' and 'Talk to the
Hand'. She reviews for the Sunday Times and writes regularly for radio.
