4 / 5 Stars

A great ‘whodunit’ mystery by the great Georges Simenon. Set in Paris, on the banks of the Seine, in the heat of the summer, before WWII.

  • Can Inspector Maigret solve a murder that is 6 years old?
  • What does the Two-Penny Bar have to do with the murder?
  • And will Inspector Maigret’s wife ever get him to try on some new clogs?

Great story!
