Summary

Maigret sets the record straight and tells the story of his own life, giving a rare glimpse into the mind of the great inspector - and the writer who would immortalise him. 'I can still see Simenon coming into my office the next day, pleased with himself, displaying even more self-confidence, if possible, than before, but nevertheless with a touch of anxiety in his eyes.... He trumpeted these last words as if they were a sensational discovery. Making it seem truer than life, that's the crux of it. Well, I've made you truer than life.'

Interesting backstory to the series

A different Maigret book but very interesting. Answered some questions about timelines and how sequentially the books seem out of order. Gave background to Maigret. Very enjoyable

Meh

A novel idea to let Maigret tell his own story. Maigret and Simenon swap roles. It fills in some background but it is always going to be less interesting and more contrived than a new case.
