“One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequaled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories.” —The Guardian

A moving novel about the destructive power of greed starring the unrivaled Inspector Maigret

“Poor Cécile! And yet she was still young. Maigret had seen her papers: barely twenty-eight years old. But it would be difficult to look more like an old maid, to move less gracefully, in spite of the care she took to be friendly and pleasant. Those black dresses that she must make for herself from bad paper patterns, that ridiculous green hat!”

In the dreary suburbs of Paris, the merciless greed of a seemingly respectable woman is unearthed by her long suffering niece, and Maigret discovers the far-reaching consequences of their actions.

4.5 (Muito bom)

Maravilhoso!

Com certeza um dos meus livros favoritos, a forma com que o escritor narra as coisas deixa tudo bem nítido, e os personagens foram bem marcantes
Li faz um bom tempo e ainda me lembro de tudo perfeitamente, leria milhares de vezes novamente e não me cansaria
O desenrolar da história vai aos poucos, mas não é lento, é esclarecedor
Recomendo a todos que gostam de livros policiais assim como eu
