The Hanged Man Of Saint-Pholien (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
The Unexpected Visitor The house was new, and there was something in the studied refinement of its design and building materials that created a feeling of comfort, of crisp, confident modernism and a well-established fortune. Red bricks, freshly repointed; natural stone; a front door of varnished oak, with brass fittings. It was only 8.30 in the morning when Maigret turned up at that door, half hoping to catch a candid glimpse of the Belloir family’s private life. The façade, in any case, seemed suitable for a bank deputy director, an impression increased by the immaculately turned-out maid who opened the door. The entrance hall was quite large, with a door of bevelled glass panes at the end. The walls were of faux marble, and geometric patterns in two colours embellished the granite floor. To the left, two sets of double doors of pale oak, leading to the drawing room and dining room. Among the clothes hanging from a portmanteau was a coat for a child of four or five.
