Maigret in Vichy Author:Georges Simenon The Insp. and Madam Maigret are in Vichy, as the Insp. hasn't been feeling well, so goes on holiday and to drink the waters. As they stroll about the resort, the other vistors become familiar to them. When a woman they call the lady in lilac is strangled, Maigret's old colleague asks his help with the case.
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.
