I have read several Maigret books by Georges Simenon. I discovered after I got this book that this is the first Maigret. Maybe for that reason I found this to be the weakest Maigret I have read so far. There were the usual interesting characters but the plot did not seem very well developed. I can see why this book was not translated until relatively recently. I think Simenon improved as he wrote more Maigret novels. This one was only average at best.
