The Late Monsieur Gallet by Georges Simenon
4.0
Best in the series so far.
In this third novel Maigret is called to a classic closed room murder at a small hotel in a sleepy Holliday town, we get a far more personal and engaged Maigret as he slowly unravels the life of the victim, and the people around him.
We also see far more actual detective work as we follow his progress through the clues and misdirections, he even borrows a Sherlock Holmes solution for getting rid of a revolver.
