Publisher's summary

A visit from the tall, thin woman he arrested many years ago - now married to a hapless burglar - leads Maigret on a tortuous investigation in which he struggles with a formidable suspect.

'When he had set them to work, Maigret had had a merry, almost fierce glint in his eye. He had set them loose on the house like a pack of hounds on the trail of a scent, encouraging them not with his voice, but by his whole attitude...would events have played out in the same manner, if the man from Rue de la Ferme hadn't been a heavyweight like him, both physically and psychologically?'

This novel has been published in previous translations as Maigret and the Burglar's Wife.

A worthwhile listen

A very clever story. Maigret at his worst and his best. Lots of atmosphere, very good supporting characters. A body found by a burglar leads Maigret into an investigation where he encounters very unpleasant wealthy individuals and receives support from a much nicer, much poorer and possibly more moral person. Justice is served.

Very good!

The story and action are leaner than in many of the Maigret series, Not to demean any of the more intense others, I found this book's atmosphere refreshing.
