pickWell, it's hardly the Hound of the Baskervilles, but the eponymous yellow dog of the story is considered a harbinger of ill fortune by the Breton townsfolk of Concarneau: a relative of the folkloric hellhounds of Britanno-Celtic legend.
Maigret is on one of his many secondments to Brittany, and also in one of his most quixotic moods, presenting himself as bumbling, unconcerned and obtuse, all the while unerringly closing in on his suspects 4⭐
pickBook 6 in the Maigret Series. Written almost 100 years ago and they were much shorter books, but I really do enjoy these books. #Classics

so-soThis Maigret story about a series of frightening events in a French seaside town seemed slow and meandering to me, but everything did come together in a complex and surprising way at the end.

pickThere is no way I would ever has guessed “whodunit” in this tale of secrets and lies. Superintendent Maigret‘s deductive powers, observational skills, and his uncanny ability to ferret out the truth,are a marvel.Because Maigret keeps his conclusions close to the vest,I was in a constant state of anticipation about the next steps in this intricate plot.
I have not read a book of his in a long time. This library find has me going in circles; I really have no clue what is going on. Several unexplained murders in a small village totally changes its tone from one of friendliness and trust to one of fear and suspicion. #porchlife #Simenon
pickOverall, I enjoyed it, but I especially relished an atmospheric nighttime stakeout on a Concarneau rooftop when Maigret from his position observes across an alley two of his main suspects in silent interaction. It involves a chicken.
