About this listen

At a dinner party, Maigret recounts an old case in which Adrien Josset is found guilty and executed for the murder of his wife, Christine. As the case develops under the controlling hand of the magistrate, all clues point to Josset's guilt, yet Maigret is left unconvinced following his one interview with him.

Years after the case, Maigret still doubts the true identity of the murderer.

This novel has been published in a previous translation as Maigret Has Doubts.

George Simenon excels, as ever. This wonderful crime novel reads like a movie script. Opening with Maigret recounting a case he clearly regrets, it moves into the sequence of events as they happened, ending with the great detective as he finishes telling his story to his best friend, together with the shocking secret that he has always left unrecounted. It is a unique telling of a Maigret novel. Gareth Armstrong is perfect as always. Simenon and Armstrong are an almost incomparable duo in the world of Audible, akin to a strong hand of justice in a velvet glove of humanity. Perfection.

What a storyteller!
