“A writer as comfortable with reality as with fiction, with passion as with reason.” —John Le Carré

Master novelist Georges Simenon’s critically acclaimed tale of the destructive power of lust and guilt

“He felt no resentment towards Andree for biting his lip. In the context of their lovemaking, it had its place.”

For Tony and Andree, there are no rules when they meet in the blue room at the Hotel des Voyageurs. Their adulterous affair is intoxicating, passionate—and dangerous. It soon turns into a nightmare from which there can be no escape. Heart-pounding and high-stakes, The Blue Room is a stylish and sensual psychological thriller that weaves a story of cruelty, reckless lust, and relentless guilt.
