The Shadow Puppet (L'Ombre chinoise) by Georges Simenon is a tense psychological mystery set in a quiet French town. The story follows Inspector Maigret as he investigates a murder that takes place in an apartment building, where the residents’ lives intertwine behind polite façades. The murder of a seemingly insignificant man unravels the darker emotions and hidden tensions among the tenants. With his signature calm and observational style, Maigret pieces together a case that reveals jealousy, repression, and the loneliness that festers behind everyday respectability. The title refers to the elusive nature of truth—like a shadow on a screen, always just out of reach.
