"After enjoying Three Beds in Manhatten I was surprisingly disappointed with the famous inspector. There was simply no descriptions or characterisations throughout the novel. The only person described at any length was the victim and this was so unlike the New York novel that I am now intrigued and intend to read the first Maigret novel. Because of the series's reputation I expect it to be quite different."
"An old woman seeks out Chief Superintendent Maigret to tell him that someone has been searching her apartment when she was out and sometimes following her. Before he can visit her apartment, she is found dead. Maigret investigates her only living relatives, a niece and her son, and the niece's lover, who is a small time crook and pimp. The only clue he finds in the apartment is some gun oil in the bedside table. With some psychological advice from his wife, Maigret solves the case."
"Simenon, Georges. MAIGRET AND THE MADWOMAN. (1970). ****. An old lady, very prim and proper, insists on seeing Inspector Maigret. She tells him that something wrong is going on at her apartment. Whenever she goes back to it after shopping or visiting the park, she notices things are just slightly out of place. She also thinks that she is being followed, but hasn't ever seen anyone yet. Maigret puts her off with promises of coming by, but days go by before he decides to do so. On the day he was going to call on her, he learns that she has been found dead in her apartment - suffocated with either a scarf or a pillow. This puts a guilt trip on our Inspector and he decides to investigate personally into this murder. There aren't many potential suspects. She had been married twice, and her last husband had died over ten years ago. She didn't keep a lot of money in her apartment, living off a double widow's pension. She had no jewels or valuables worth speaking of, so robbery wasn't the motive. Her only living relative was her niece, a masseuse who lived in an apartment across the river from her. What Maigret ultimately finds out, however, is that she had something of value that she didn't know about, and that was the motive for her killing. This is a suspenseful novel in which Maigret uses all of his detecting skills to ultimately solve this crime. Recommended."
