furfff's review against another edition
5.0
The height of the series for me so far, not in terms of character development or lovely subtle Simenony poetic turn of phrase, but just from a sheerly fun and readable story, which starts with a great premise (a down on his luck guy comes to Maigret warns that he sees no other path in life than committing a murder) and moves confidently forward toward more intrigue.

Maigret comes home after work and finds another case waiting for him. A man awaits him and states that he is considering killing his wife. This premise turns into an atmospheric read especially underlined by a language almost taciturn, which suits the tone of the story perfectly.
