Summary

Imperious, clever, mysterious: Maigret meets his match in the alluring form of Félicie in book 25 of the new Penguin Maigret series.

In his mind's eye he would see that slim figure in the striking clothes, those wide eyes the colour of forget-me-not, the pert nose and especially the hat, that giddy crimson bonnet perched on the top of her head with a bronze-green feather shaped like a blade stuck in it.... Félicie had given him more trouble than all the 'hard' men who had been put behind bars.

One of is best cases

The plot is complex and Maigrets deductions take time to evolve and resolves enchanting ending

Bread and butter Maigret

A nice simple tale with lots of familiar Parisien landmarks, a bit ho-hum but oddly satisfying.
It's a pity that the narrator made Félicie sound like a 50 year old woman with a strange accent but I know that representing the accents of areas of France in English is difficult.

Prefer Others

A different style of Maigret.
This one was confusing, jumping backwards and forwards. At times I was unsure “who” was telling the story. Sometimes, Maigret was talked about in the third person, as if he was one of the suspects. A very strangely constructed narrative. Annoying and confusing. Prefer other Maigret stories.
