About this listen

The attempted suicide of a countess and the death of a billionaire in the same luxury Paris hotel send Maigret to the Riviera and then to Switzerland, as he searches for the truth amid the glittering world of the super rich.

Eyes half closed, head tilted against the back of his seat, he seemed not to be thinking as the plane flew over a thick carpet of bright clouds. In reality, he was making an effort to bring names and shadowy figures to life, names and figures that even this morning had been as unknown to him as the inhabitants of another planet.

Most relevant
The joy of Simenon is whilst you are engulfed in a cracking murder mystery, & the mood of Maigret & his loyal team, you are also experiencing atmospheric social commentary, in this case the illusion of great wealth & perhaps the fear of losing it.

A truly engaging tale 5 Stars

Simenon is unique and untouchable in the genre of procedural police novels. Maigret is a creation of wonder and beauty. This is a three and one half hour novel of sheer literary brilliance, like all of the Maigret stories, so superbly read by the magnificent Gareth Armstrong, it moves at such a rapid pace you feel like you've only been listening for a half hour at most. Quite remarkable authorship.

Wondrous writing.
