About this listen

'You see, I mainly work at night. I've ended up getting to know everybody. They're used to me in Pigalle, I exchange a few words with this person or that person. I go into the bars and cabarets where they give me a quarter bottle of Vichy without waiting for me to order anything.'

An anonymous tip-off regarding the death of a restaurant owner sends Maigret into the world of Parisian nightlife, a notorious criminal gang and a man known as 'the Flea'.

This novel has been pubished in a previous translation as Maigret and the Flea.

As always the superb performance from Gareth tops off Simeons work so beautifully.

This story is amongst the very best Maigrets and I simply had to finish it in one sitting, COVID Lockdown does have the occasional benefit, so be prepared to spend 3 hours of so with Gareth and Maigret.

Put quite simply, another wonderful and thrilling story by the greatest ever writer of police procedural novels. No one even touches the brilliance of Simenon and his masterful creation, Maigret.

Magnifique!
