Maigret has a presentiment that Félicie, Lapie's maid, who went out shopping at the time of the murder, knows something, but she remains silent; her behavior irritates and intrigues the commissioner who hardly leaves her during his investigation. This young girl with a sour manner is sensitive, and to escape her hard life, she transposes into reality the dreams and fantasies resulting from her reading. Now Maigret must play cat and mouse with Félicie, hoping to find the actual murderer.
