Summary: A different Maigret
Comment: Atmosphere is stranger than in others Maigret's novels. But it's also very good novel. If you have read "Pedigree" (Simenon's childhood autobiography) you can make interesting parallels between one of the two young boys and Simenon himself. It seems to say to us that the line between criminals and the other humans isn't very large ...

Summary: A Younger Inspector Maigret
Comment: You can compare my review to the other one on this book. OUr views are not the same.
I found this book, which I read in French while living in California, to be a delight. It takes place in Liege, in the country of Simenon's birth, long before most of the novels. And part of the suspense (for it is a suspense murder mystery) is waiting for Maigret to appear.
Eventually the large figure in his dark winter overcoat enters the story, well supplied with his pipe(s) and tobacco, his mind racing over possibilities. And we are not disappointed, even after reading countless later stories. Not only does Simenon give us a satisfactory ending, but we have a splendid picture of an almost "old world" Liege and the kind of people who lived and worked in it.
No, definitely not just a "holiday book", this. Rather, a book for all seasons. Give it a try and you will agree.

Summary: OK
Comment: I read this book while I was on my vacation and I think it is exactly that sort of book :a vacation one. It is ok.
