Mr. Hire's Engagement tells the story of a lonely man named Mr. Air who is feared by his neighbors. He doesn't leave the door of the house very often. He only goes to the bowling club once a week, where everyone thinks he's a policeman. When a woman is murdered near where he lives, the caretaker of the house points the finger of blame at her. From then on, the police do not take their eyes off him and chase him every day and every hour. But Mr. Hire's only sin is that he has a crush on a girl he shouldn't... Georges Simenon, a Belgian writer, is best known for the detective Magre, the main character of his crime novels; But Mr. Iyer's engagement is one of his few works that does not have a place in Megre's detective story series. This novel has already been translated into English twice, and in 1989, a movie adaptation of it was released. Georges Simenon's psychological novels are a mixture of masterful treatment and intelligent dissection of the human psyche. He describes the fears, mental complexes, mental tendencies, and attachments that are hidden under the mask of monotonous everyday life and suddenly lead to violence and crime in an unexpected explosion. William Faulkner, the famous American writer, says about him: "I like reading his works. He reminds me of Chekhov."
