Book excerpt: Georges Simenon (1903-1989) was a phenomenally successful author of crime fiction. His 75 Maigret novels and 28 Maigret short stories were published between 1931 and 1972 to great international acclaim (he is the only non-anglophone crime writer to have achieved such renown). His Maigret stories are regarded by many as having established a new direction in crime fiction, emphasizing social and psychological portraiture rather than focussing on a puzzle to be solved or on "action." This book examines the importance of social class and social change in the Maigret stories, giving a particular emphasis to the early formative novels and the development of plot, characterization and setting. The author seeks to establish the extent to which Simenon's portrait of French society is historically accurate and the nature of the influence of the author's own class position and ideology on his fiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A writer as comfortable with reality as with fiction, with passion as with reason.” —John Le Carré A sensational tale of deceit and back-stabbing in an isolated community in which only Inspector Maigret can intervene “She came forward, the outlines of her figure blurred in the half-light....‘I gather you wish to talk to me, Inspector...but first of all please sit down...’ Her accent was more pronounced than Carl’s. Her voice sang, dropping on the last syllable of the longer words.” Maigret has been interrogating Carl Andersen for seventeen hours without a confession. He’s either innocent or a very good liar. So why was the body of a diamond merchant found at his isolated mansion? Why is his sister always shut away in her room? And why does everyone at Three Widows Crossroads have something to hide?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quand Maigret, avec un soupir de lassitude, écarta sa chaise du bureau auquel il était accoudé, il y avait exactement dix-sept heures que durait l’interrogatoire de Carl Andersen. On avait vu tour à tour, par les fenêtres sans rideaux, la foule des midinettes et des employés prendre d’assaut, à l’heure de midi, les crémeries de la place Saint-Michel, puis l’animation faiblir, la ruée de six heures vers les métros et les gares, la flânerie de l’apéritif... La Seine s’était enveloppée de buée. Un dernier remorqueur était passé, avec feux verts et rouges, traînant trois péniches. Dernier autobus. Dernier métro. Le cinéma dont on fermait les grilles après avoir rentré les panneaux-réclame... Et le poêle qui semblait ronfler plus fort dans le bureau de Maigret. Sur la table, il y avait des demis vides, des restes de sandwiches.
