A quick read basic mystery; it’s set as a “who done it?” with a deeper story unveiled. The “twist” was predictable. Overall a bit emotionless, maybe because it was my first introduction to Detective Maigret, the translation vibes, and or just the setting/time of the novel/writing. Not bad but I don’t see myself looking for more of the series to read.

Wasnt too into this one, not as good or interesting as Félicie. A very good twist at the end but a forgettable read.

Il commissario Maigret è in pensione da due anni e passa le giornate a curare il suo orticello. Un giorno una facoltosa signora gli chiede di indagare sulla misteriosa morte di sua nipote: con questo pretesto il nostro ritorna ad indagare, ritrovando i suoi vecchi e sempre fedeli colleghi.

Ritroviamo un Maigret più anziano, stanco, ma il suo fiuto non scompare mai.
