The Pequod Review:

The Glass Cage, one of Georges Simenon’s last published novels, is the intense psychological profile of a middle-aged man whose life is knocked off track after his brother-in-law commits suicide. This is a common theme throughout Simenon’s works — that we are all barely holding it together, suppressing so many frustrations and desires that a single adverse event can lead to unthinkable crimes.
