Maigret investigates a cautious burglar, the murder of a wealthy butcher, and the assassination of an ambassador

One of the canal carters stumbled on the corpse of Mary Lampson, strangled in a stable near the lock: the find plunged Maigret into the damp world of barges and towpath cafes. The woman's husband, a retired English colonel, was curt and unhelpful on board his yacht. But gradually Maigret extracted an account of the garish whisky-sodden life they had led along the inland waterways of France. It called for a chase on a bicycle and a confession from a dying man to draw together all the strands of a curious and pitiful story.

Nine short stories make up this delightful holiday-themed collection, each featuring Georges Simenon's famous detective, Jules Maigret. Christmas mysteries abound: an otherwise sensible little girl insists that she has seen Father Christmas, a statement alarming to her neighbors, Monsieur and Madame Maigret. Then, a choirboy helps the inspector solve a crime while he lies in bed with a cold; another boy, pursued by a criminal, ingeniously leaves a trail to help Maigret track him. Many of these stories feature observant and resourceful children, frightened yet resolute, who bring out a paternal streak in the childless Maigret. The rapport between the inspector and these youthful heroes imparts a delightful freshness to this holiday collection-a cornucopia for fans of Maigret and mysteries.

The Inspector has fallen into disfavor with his Paris superiors and has been shunted to a district supervisor's job on the northern French coast. Here, among mussel-gatherers and lobstermen, Maigret suffers depression and boredom. He is an outsider. Even the local police inspector is dull and predictable, as everything in the coastal villages appears to be. But the discovery of a corpse in the house of a retired judge returns a sense of purpose to Maigret. The Boston Globe called this "one of Simenon's best Maigrets . . . replete with his customary irony and deft characterization."

After Inspector Maigret's assistant, Detective Lognon, loses a body, three shady Americans arrive in Paris, and Pozzo, the restaurateur from St. Louis, warns him to watch his step, Maigret discovers that he is dealing with professional criminals

A young woman who shares an apartment with an elderly aunt returns to police headquarters repeatedly to complain of strange shifts in the position of her furniture during the night. On a particularly busy day the Inspector puts her off just long enough for disaster to strike. Translated by Eileen Ellenbogen. A Helen and Kurt Wolff Book

Investigating a murder, Chief Inspector Maigret has difficulty penetrating the wall of silence maintained by the family involved

Qui a tué Louise Filon, alias Lulu, ancienne prostituée du quartier de La Chapelle, alors qu'elle était enceinte ? Et qui payait son appartement cossu, dans le quartier des Ternes ? En cherchant la réponse à ces questions, Maigret va découvrir deux hommes dans la vie de la victime: Pierrot, le musicien de musette, et le professeur Etienne Gouin, une sommité du monde médical. Il va aussi plonger dans deux Paris on ne peut plus dissemblables: celui des pauvres et des mauvais garçons, celui - feutré, silencieux, orgueilleux aussi - d'une bourgeoisie opulente...Reste à découvrir le coupable. Et son mobile. Et pour cela, à affronter la personnalité imposante du médecin, que Maigret semble redouter...

Georges Simenon's 75 novels and 28 short stories that feature Chief Inspector Jules Maigret provide us with a great deal of information about the French police detective--but only in small, episodic doses. As readers become acquainted with Maigret one detail at a time, he slowly takes on a flesh-and-bone realism--not merely a character in a story, but someone we would like to meet in real life. This book presents all the canonical facts and details about the detective and his world in one place, presented with tabulations and analyses that enable a better understanding of the works and of Maigret himself.
