Maigret and the Reluctant Witnesses

Inspector Maigret

‘Acute psychological insight and a distinctive, spare, atmospheric style … Simenon ought to be spoken of in the same breath as Camus, Beckett and Kafka’ Independent on Sunday

Faced with a house of tight-lipped witnesses to a murder, Simenon's legendary Inspector Maigret must change his methods to uncover the truth

‘The family and the house had turned in on themselves, acquiring a hostile face in the process’

The once-wealthy Lachaume family closes ranks when one of their own is shot dead, claiming to have heard and seen nothing of the murder. This leaves Maigret – along with a troublesome new magistrate who has waded into the case – to pick his way through their shameful secrets.

'One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century' Guardian

‘Gem-hard soul-probes . not just the world's bestselling detective series, but an imperishable literary legend’ Boyd Tonkin, The Times
