Discover Maigret this summer
Grab your passport, because Maigret’s on the move this summer. Transport yourself around the world with these ten brilliant Inspector Maigret books by Georges Simenon.
Maigret and the Dead Girl
Paris
Maigret and his fellow inspector Lognon find themselves trying to out-manoeuver each other when they investigate the case of a mysterious young woman whose new life in Paris is tragically cut short.
The Dancer at the Gai-Moulin
Belgium
Maigret observes from a distance as two boys are accused of killing a rich foreigner in Liège. Their loyalty, which binds them together through their adventures, is put to the test, and seemingly irrelevant social differences threaten their friendship and their freedom.
A Crime in Holland
The Netherlands
When a French professor visiting the quiet, Dutch coastal town of Delfzjil is accused of murder, Maigret is sent to investigate. The community seem happy to blame an unknown outsider, but there are people much closer to home who seem to know much more than they’re letting on: Beetje, the dissatisfied daughter of a local farmer, Any van Elst, sister-in-law of the deceased and a notorious local crook.
The Misty Harbour
The seaside
A distressed man is found wandering the streets of Paris, with no memory of who he is or how he got there. The answers lead Maigret to a small harbour town, whose quiet citizens conceal a poisonous malice.
Lock No 1
Canals
A man hauled out of the Charenton canal one night, a girl wandering, confused, in a white nightdress… these events draw Maigret into the world of the charismatic self-made businessman Ducrau, and the misdeeds of his past.
The Flemish House
Riverside
Maigret is asked to the windswept, rainy border town of Givet by a young woman desperate to clear her family of murder. But their well-kept shop, the sleepy community and its raging river all hide their own mysteries.
Maigret is Afraid
The countryside
Maigret’s impromptu visit to an old college friend draws him into a murky investigation in a small provincial town ruled by snobbery, fear and intimidation.
My Friend Maigret
South of France
An officer from Scotland Yard is studying Maigret’s methods when a call from an island off the Côte d’Azure sends the two men off to an isolated community to investigate its eccentric inhabitants.
Maigret’s Revolver
United Kingdom
When Maigret’s prized gun goes missing, he must travel to London on the trail of a troubled young man on the run.
Persuaded to sail to New York by a fearful young law student, Maigret finds himself drawn into the city’s underworld, and a wealthy businessman’s closely guarded past.
