In a quiet corner of the French countryside, a quaint village known for its charming doll-like homes becomes the backdrop for a puzzling mystery when a sudden murder disrupts the serene atmosphere. Inspector Maigret, renowned for his keen intuition and empathetic understanding of human nature, is called upon to investigate the crime that shatters the village's idyllic facade. As he delves into the relationships and rivalries within this seemingly close-knit community, he uncovers layers of deceit and hidden emotions among the villagers.

Each character, with their distinct quirks and backstories, provides a glimpse into the complexities of human motivations and the darkness that can lurk beneath a tranquil surface. The inspector's unyielding pursuit of truth not only aims to solve the mystery but also to shed light on the fragile nature of peace within the toy-like village.
