About this listen

When a salesman from a Paris department store confides his secret fears to Maigret, the Inspector soon becomes caught up in a treacherous feud between husband and wife that is not as clear cut as it seems.

How do you solve a murder that hasn’t happened yet? That’s the premise of this, one of the most unusual of the Maigret novels. The story revolves around an unhappy marriage in which both husband and wife may - or may not - be planning to kill each other. Maigret feels compelled to investigate in order to prevent a tragedy. But investigate what, exactly? Is there a crime underway, or is it just his own, over-active mind looking for something to do during an uncharacteristically quiet period at Quai des Orfèvres? Simenon turns the genre on its head in truly compelling style. A brilliant listen, enhanced no end as always by Gareth Armstrong’s definitive narration.

Simenon makes the complex seem so simple

Simenon, one of the world's greatest ever writers, produces yet another blisteringly superb novel which displays his unrivalled capacity to empathise with the human condition. Maigret's humanity in this story is clearly that of the author. These novels are seering with apparent simplicity in making you feel for every single character. Gareth Armstrong is peerless as a narrator. Perfection has never been so good.

Pure bliss.
