This one was over in a flash and a good read, with as always a memorable and very curious supporting cast.

In the end justice but not of a criminal kind but mortal. I quite enjoyed it and the change of scene to some harbour or Paris.

Non è finito come lo avrei fatto finire io. È per questo che io non sono Simenon e lui sì.

Il commissario Maigret viene chiamato ad indagare su un assassinio avvenuto sulla Costa Azzurra: è stato ritrovato il cadavere di un anziano ricco uomo nel giardino della sua villa e due donne stavano fuggendo via con le valigie (la sua amante e la madre di lei). Ma ben presto in questa storia entreranno altre figure legate a uno sporco bar, il Liberty, e apparirà anche il figlio del defunto.

"Non vogliamo grane!" chiedono i superiori a Maigret mandato in Costa Azzurra a risolvere questo caso. E lui risolverà il delitto senza dare loro grane. Ritroviamo un Maigret sempre più solitario e malinconico, il quale, come in altre sue magistrali indagini, riesce a sbrogliare il delitto immedesimandosi nei vari personaggi che popolavano il piccolo mondo felice dell'assassinato il quale cercava solo un suo spazio ideale dove finalmente essere se stesso.

One of the worst books I have ever read.
This book was published just for commercial benefits. Don't read it, not even for wasting time.

داستانهای پلیسی معمولا جذابه مخصوصا وقتی یک کارآگاه با رفتارهای خاص خودش توی یک سری کتاب وجود داشته باشه، مثل خانوم مارپل یا موسیو پوآرو، اینجا هم با کارآگاه ساخته شده توسط ذهن ژرژ سیمنون روبرو هستیم، کارآگاه مگره. کافه لیبرتی داستان جذاب و نسبتا متفاوتی داره. کارآگاه مگره برای حل و فصل بی سر و صدای ماجرای قتل مردی که از پست چاقو خورده به جنوب فرانسه میره، طی تحقیقات به کافه‌ای میرسه که با بقیه‌ی کافه ها متفاوته، کافه لیبرتی و افراد حاضر در اون کافه و پسر و معشوقه‌ی هم خونه‌ی مقتول کم‌کم مسیر داستان و ماجرا رو مشخص میکنن.
