Particularly good Maigret. Written in 1948, it covers our area of Marais and environs before they were chic. Palpable evocation of petits cafes et petits gens.

A good one, but took me a while, got a little slow for me. (

Gruesome, sadistic crimes. Liked the book otherwise, but hard to overlook the cruelty. (
