Belle (La mort de Belle, 1952) is a novel by Belgian writer Georges Simenon;[1] it is one of the author's self-described roman durs or "hard novels" to distinguish it from his romans populaires or "popular novels," which are primarily mysteries that usually feature his famous Inspector Maigret character.[2]

La mort de Belle was translated into English by Louise Varèse in 1954.[3]
