This one may be my most favourite for a long while. It follows the Maigret's on a short holiday in Vichy where a murder is committed and Maigret has a background role in the investigation. A sad end to the investigation but a great change of pace and enjoyable plot.

A fun one. Maigret chills out on vacation, until the lady he and his wife kept seeing ends up dead. A nice low key rumination on the extent to which we can control who we are, versus the effect of our surroundings. Also some good madame maigret stuff, which I’ve unexpectedly cone to find the most pleasant aspect of reading all of these at once, the slow shading of character....
