When one of his best inspectors is shot, Maigret decides to book himself into Mademoiselle Clément's well-kept Paris boardinghouse nearby in order to find the culprit.

'What he thought he had discovered, in place of the joyful candour that she usually displayed, was an irony which was neither less cheerful nor less childish, but which troubled him.... He wondered now if his exultation wasn't down to the fact that she was playing a part, not just to deceive him, not just to hide something from him, but for the pleasure of acting a part.'

There’s 76 Detective Maigret novels. Not enough available on the Audible shelf. Gareth is a perfect reader, heard and he rarely distracts me…if only to note how good it is to be immersed in Maigret’s mind, patient, all seeing and investigative, without a narrator’s performance jarring me out of reader’s bliss, maybe feeling like I’m discovering the clues 1st until slam dunk, why-didn’t-I-see-that” twist.
You’ll see why he’s still in the best writer’s influential libraries.
I may learn French or Dutch at age 68 just to crack open more space in my brain for Simenon’s creativity.

Simenon doesn’t know how to write a bad novel
