Simenon: He was just a man, an unhappy, shattered man who had played the game and lost.

This investigation isn’t very interesting because it is set mainly in upper class hotels. I prefer Maigret stories that involve 1930s working class Parisian folk.

Van Meulen: Morally, if I may use the express, we’re all capable of committing murder, provided we have sufficient motive and we’re convinced we won’t get caught.
