Georges Simenon

Inspector Maigret’s wife has fallen ill during their seaside holiday at Les Sables-d’Olonne. When he visits her in the hospital, he receives a strange note instructing him to see a patient in another ward. Soon he finds himself unexpectedly drawn into a quest to find justice for a young girl – and confronting an evil that is hidden in plain sight.

Maigret's Holiday

Inspector Maigret

Inspector Maigret and his wife take a much-needed rest cure in the spa town of Vichy, where they quickly become used to the leisurely pace of life. But when a woman who they regularly pass by on their daily strolls is murdered, Maigret can't help but offer his assistance to the local investigation – no matter where it leads.

Maigret in Vichy

Inspector Maigret is called to the home of the Comte de Saint-Hilaire, a highly respected official who has been found shot dead in the study of his elegant Parisian home. The violent death of this distinguished former ambassador – an old man without political secrets or enemies – confounds the detective. Then a mysterious bundle of old letters leads him closer towards a tragic truth.

Maigret and the Old People

Inspector Maigret finds himself back on Paris’s Rue des Acacias just ten days after cracking another case there. This time it is the murder of a gangster he has known for over twenty years – and one he always suspected was behind a string of jewellery robberies in the city. Can he prove his theory? Maigret must bide his time, explore every angle and interview every neighbour until he can get to the truth. 
 
Translated by David Watson

Maigret's Patience

Xavier Manto, a mild-mannered toy salesman from a Paris department store, has come to confide his secret fears to Inspector Maigret: he suspects his wife is plotting to poison him. Then when Maigret receives a visit from Madame Manton on the same day, he is not sure who to trust. Soon he becomes caught up in a treacherous feud between husband and wife, where nothing is as clear cut as it seems.
