She came forward like a film star, or rather like the ideal woman in an adolescents dream. I gather you wish to talk to me, Inspector . . . but first of all please sit down . . . Her accent was more pronounced than Carls. Her voice sang, dropping on the last syllable of the longer words.Maigret has been interrogating Carl Andersen for seventeen hours without a confession. Hes either innocent or a very good liar. So why was the body of a diamond merchant found at his isolated mansion? Why is his sister always shut away in her room?

And why does everyone at Three Widows Crossroads have something to hide?
