Simenon Madness 2!

Recommended by Scott Phillips at NoirCon. (Original title: The Watchmaker of Everton.) Phillips speaks, I order. And this one sounds great. From the interior promo copy:

She was not yet 20, but she was a wild country girl, female rather than woman and every movement of her hips disturbed him. She went out every evening with another man and made love without regard to the consequences. This was the woman he was afraid to make love to, until he married her...

COULD A SON FROM THIS MARRIAGE BE ANYTHING BUT BAD?

Hey, it's a fair question.
