Book Description:
While committing what he intends to be his last burglary, "Sad Freddie" discovers something completely out of his line: the body of a dead woman, her chest covered in blood, holding a telephone in her hand. Inspector Maigret is called in to solve the crime, and after an exhaustive search, a psychological duel, a marathon interrogation, and innumerable glasses of Pernod, wine, cold beer, and brandy--a sure sign that this is no easy case--the famous French sleuth triumphs.

Matt B. (This outstanding mystery has an interesting plot, psychological insight, and flashes of humor. An ex-woman of the town that M. had trouble with years before brings a domestic problem to M. in his office. Her husband has discovered a corpse in a house he had broken into and scared of police attention he fled town. Positive he didn’t do it, she wants M. to investigate the house in which burglar-hubby allegedly spotted the corpse. Skeptical M. complies and finds himself in a strange new milieu. Simenon skillfully portrays greedy middle-class characters, willing to do anything to maintain their social position. Also, maybe unique in all 70-some M. novels, Maigret brings Mme Maigret to the Quai des Orfèvres, saying, “I only ask one thing - please don’t start telling me how dusty everything is and how it needs a good cleaning!” Fans of M. will enjoy.
