Product Description
Vain, womanising Tony and passionate, manipulative Andree met eight times in eleven months in the blue room at the Hotel des Voyageurs for afternoons of abandoned love. For Tony the conversation that last time was just the casual, almost banal, talk of lovers. But for Andree it was something else. And it led inevitably to an appalling double murder and a nightmare which Tony couldn't escape.

4.0 out of 5 stars An unusual slant on an age old storyline, 18 May 2003
By Nicholas Bowry (Edinburgh United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Simenon comes up trumps yet again, with a different take on the consequences of a married man's affair.

It has his usual psychological twist in the story-telling, and made me wonder where he was taking the story. By the time the direction became clear, in a clever telling of the tale, I was wishing I could have told the main character! You'll have to read it to find out why.

An enjoyable short-ish story that, if you have read other Maigret's, will not leave you dissappointed, and if you are new to the stories will make you want to read more. It also makes you wonder just what does go on behind the louvred windows of an hotel in a hot French summer..

I only wish Penguin (or any other UK publisher for that matter) would start publishing them again, like Penguin did in the early 1980's, in three story volumes.
