maigret in vichy Author:georges simenon While on vacation, the sleuth in Maigret is aroused by a mysterious lady in lavender. His playful imagination begins inventing all kinds of adventures around her. But when something he never dreamed of inventing happens, he suddenly finds himself involved in a case of blackmail, murder, and the most curious crime of passion of his career.
This is a charming Insp. Maigret mystery as we see the Insp. at leisure and in the company of his wife, but with an intriguing mystery at hand too. I'm a fan of these classic tales of detection.
