    It’s a pity that most readers, hearing the name Simenon, immediately think: Oh yes, Maigret. But in fact Simenon, as he well knew, was at his best in what he called his romans durs,or ‘hard novels’. And this one is surely the hardest of them all. It’s set in Liège, Simenon’s hometown, during the war, among a cast of gangsters and low-lifes. An asto...

    This is one of the very best of the Maigret series. The Paris police inspector travels to the village of his birth, to investigate a predicted murder, which duly takes place.

It is set on the holiday island of Porquerolles off the south coast of France, but is the story of a holiday in Hell, as the eponymous Mahé conducts his doomed pursuit of the girl in the red dress. Enigmatic, brooding, and wholly convincing.

    The lawyer Hector Loursat has largely given up on life after his wife’s desertion. He spends each evening reading and drinking himself into oblivion. Then a murder is committed in his house and he determines to act as legal defence for the young accused. I can do no better than quote myself (from the LA Times, 2018): ‘the quintessentialroman dur:di...

  4. Aug 15, 2019 · Some of the stories roam wildly across Paris and draw in a large cast of incidental characters; others fix closely onto a particular place or community or social milieu; others zoom in even closer, on the ins and outs of a particular marriage or particular family.
