"Simenon was fascinated by peculiarities of human personality, which he described in elegant, simple prose . . . as pure as running water." --Roger Ebert
It's the height of spring, and Maigret is grappling with doubly unfamiliar circumstances. He's in the surreal new village of Jeanneville, outside Paris, where an elderly bachelor has been shot dead in his home. Тhe prime witness, his twenty-four-year-old housekeeper, Félicie, may well be among Maigret's most unnerving adversaries. Infuriatingly clever, singularly self-possessed, and overtly antagonistic, she is surely hiding something--but what? As their battle of wits pinballs the investigation between toy land-like Jeanneville and Paris's seedy Place Pigalle, Maigret wonders what preoccupies him more: catching the perpetrator of a brutal murder, or solving the psychological puzzle box of Félicie? A diamond-sharp gem of crime fiction, Félicie is Georges Simenon at his mischievous best.Author: Georges Simenon

About the Author
Georges Simenon (1903-1989) was born in Liège, Belgium. An intrepid traveler with a profound interest in people, Simenon strove on and off the page to understand--and not to judge--the human condition in all its shades. His books include the Inspector Maigret series and a richly varied body of wider work united by its evocative power, its economy of means, and its penetrating psychological insight. He is among the most widely read writers in the global canon.
David Coward is professor emeritus of French at the University of Leeds and a translator of many books from the French, including Albert Cohen's Belle du Seigneur, for which he was awarded a Scott Moncrieff Prize.Returns Policy
