Maigret Lunchtime listen March 2023

Despite reading this only 4 years ago, it was brilliant to listen to it, as ever wonderfully read by Gareth Armstrong.
Its a brilliantly atmospheric example of Maigret and demonstrates all that is exciting and enthralling about Simenon's writing

Maigret Series read 2019 onwards
Another solid performance from Georges Simenon and the stalwart but intelligent Maigret.

Review to follow 😊

And here we are. Ok, first thing to say is THIS IS MAIGRET NUMBER 9 NOT NUMBER 5 ...more
