Maigret Gets Angry | Georges Simenon

2 posts | 1 read

Maigret is drawn out of retirement when a young woman is found dead in the Seine and her grandmother turns up at his door. The twenty-sixth novel in the new Penguin Maigret series. Two years into his retirement at Meung-sur-Loire, Maigret has yet to come across a case compelling enough to tempt him back into the business. But when 18-year-old Monita Malik is found dead in the Seine River, he is all but ordered to the small town of Orsennes by the girl’s grandmother. There, Maigret encounters Ernest Malik, an old acquaintance from his school days whom he’s always disliked on instinct, and it quickly becomes clear that Maigret’s presence is not welcome in Orsenne. When others from Orsenne’s elite families begin to go missing as well, Maigret can’t help but be swept up in the mystery. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Bookwomble I had a "summer of Maigret" this year - great reading ??ā€¨ā™‚ļø¸?? 4y

Andrew65 @Bookwomble On.y just discovered him and really enjoying them. 4y

Bookwomble @Andrew65 I've known the character for years through TV adaptations, but only started on the books this year. I remember as a child my nana asking me to get them for her from the mobile library that used to visit our neighbourhood, so I guess I've had them on my radar a long time! 4y

Maigret Gets Angry | Georges Simenon

pick

In this story, Simenon jumps to the end of Maigret's career: two years into his retirement, gone to fat and tending his aubergines (in contrast to Holmes's bees) in his country cottage garden, he's hired by a rich old woman to investigate the accidental (?) death of her granddaughter. A sordid and muddy family melodrama unfolds, leaving Maigret more disgusted, I'd have said, than angry. A rather downbeat, but satisfying, story.
