Maigret Enjoys Himself by Georges Simenon
2.0
Well, at least someone enjoyed themselves.
One can say that there is an intereting idea here as Simenon experiments the way with which he tells these stories. So here we have Maigret (mostly successfully) fighting his workaholic tendencies and staying out of a case since he promised everyone (his wife, his colleagues, the adoring public) that he would be on vacation. Unfortunately, the method Simenon uses to then tell the story is through a barrage of newspaper articles and exposition-crammed dialogue. It's just not a fun way to discover what's happening in the investigation of "how did the nude murdered lady end up in the closet."
