Maigret becomes increasingly frustrated as his attempts to prove that a brutal, repulsive murder has been committed at a local bookbinder prove fruitless, in a mystery that revolves around a series of seemingly unconnected incidents and characters, set amongst the backdrop of the Marais district in Paris, in which Madame Maigret holds the vital clue. Original.

Pritchett) A writer who, more than any other crime novelist, combined a high literary reputation with popular appeal. (P. D. James) A truly wonderful writer, marvelously readablelucid, simple, absolutely in tune with that world he creates. (Muriel Spark) Simenon created one of the great moral detectives . . . a master of the slow unfolding of the criminal mind. (John Mortimer) A truly wonderful writer, marvelously readablealucid, simple, absolutely in tune with that world he creates. (Muriel Spark) A truly wonderful writer, marvelously readable lucid, simple, absolutely in tune with that world he creates. (Muriel Spark) A truly wonderful writer, marvelously readable-lucid, simple, absolutely in tune with that world he creates. (Muriel Spark)
