The Blue Room By George Simenon

Georges Simenon is best known for the Inspector Maigret stories, but he published scores of other books. The Blue Room (La Chambre Bleue), from 1963, is believed to be one of his best.

The Blue Room is a tale of poisoned love in a village deep in rural France, where the sinister flourishes and suspicion and claustrophobia prevail.

Tony Falcone is an ordinary guy, a self-made man, the son of Italian immigrants. He sells and repairs agricultural machinery. He's a womaniser, but always returns at the end of the day to his wife and daughter in the village of Saint-Justin. Andrée Despierre is the daughter of a highly respected family. She used to live in the local chateau but now she's married to Nicolas, an affluent but sickly grocer. Tony and Andrée's passionate affair begins when he mends a puncture for her by the roadside.

Dramatised by Ronald Frame and Produced by Patrick Rayner
