A Crime in Holland Quotes

“There was just one thing about her that was really seductive, and it was the spell cast by Maigret’s staging of the scene that had brought out that pure truth, reducing events to their crudest common denominator: her two splendid breasts, made even more enticing by the shiny silk surface. Eighteen-year-old breasts, quivering a little under her blouse, just enough to make them look even more luscious.”
― Georges Simenon, A Crime in Holland
