The Yellow Dog by Georges Simenon
4.0
Inspector Maigret came from Paris to the small town of Concarneau to solve the mysterious killing of a local wine dealer. In between lots of drinks and pipe-smoking, Maigret examined his conversations with the locals, including a journalist, a doctor, and a waitress, who all seemed to have something to hide. A yellow dog also made regular appearances but didn't belong to anyone. Maigret needed quite a bit of time to make sense of it all, much to the chagrin of the local mayor.
Simenon captured the claustrophobic atmosphere of a small French town in the 1930s, where greed, revenge, snobbery, debauchery, and hysteria converged. But in the end, he rewarded readers with a touching tribute to love, forgiveness, and kindness, and the chance to start over.
