Summary

He needed to get out of his office, soak up the atmosphere and discover different worlds with each new investigation. He needed the cafés and bars where he so often ended up waiting, at the counter, drinking a beer or a calvados depending on the circumstances.

He needed to do battle patiently in his office with a suspect who refused to talk and sometimes, after hours and hours, he'd obtain a dramatic confession.

In Simenon's final novel featuring Inspector Maigret, the famous detective reaches a pivotal moment in his career, contemplating his past and future as he delves into the Paris underworld one last time to investigate the case of a missing lawyer.

Superb reading as for all other Maigrets.

Gareth Armstrong’s reading of the 75 Maigret stories has been a delight. He captures the atmosphere of the stories and characterisations to a tee. There surely can’t be anyone else who’s recorded the whole series. Combined with Geoffrey Hutching’s reading of the short stories my Audible library is a great pleasure to plunder when I want to listen to great audiobooks.
