4 stars - An older book and author very worth seeking out

4 stars

I have always loved Simenon’s writing, it is clean and focuses on the action (for the most part) but you still know what is happening inside the characters’ minds somehow. His writing is like a breath of fresh air: original and very readable at the same time. The plot of this one is simple compared to more modern mysteries and police procedurals, but somehow that doesn’t matter, you are drawn into a realistic world with Maigret at the center of it.

Note - 4 stars for me is an excellent review,I save the 5 stars for books that belong in my top 50 books of all time.
