Описание: "One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequaled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories." --The Guardian

In this delightful holiday-themed collection of nine short stories, Inspector Maigret must solve a series of little mysteries--just in time for Christmas morning

Christmas mysteries abound in this light-hearted holiday collection of Jules Maigret's exploits: In one, 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 Maigret Christmas is a cornucopia for fans of Maigret and mysteries alike.

Описание: II etait sept heures et demie. Dans le bureau du chef, avec un soupir d'aise et de fatigue a la fois, un soupir de gros homme a la fin d'une chaude journee de juillet, Maigret avait machinalement tire sa montre de son gousset. Puis il avait tendu la main, ramasse ses dossiers sur le bureau d'acajou. La porte matelassee s'etait refermee derriere lui et il avait traverse l'antichambre. Personne sur les fauteuils rouges. Le vieux garcon de bureau etait dans sa cage vitree. Le couloir de la Police judiciaire etait vide, une longue perspective a la fois grise et ensoleillee.

Описание: Inevitably Maigret was a hostile presence in the Majestic. He constituted a kind of foreign body that the hotel`s atmosphere could not assimilate. Not that he looked like a cartoon policeman. He didn`t have a moustache and he didn`t wear heavy boots. His clothes were well cut and made of fairly light worsted.

Описание: The small French town of Concarneau is a summer resort. In winter it becomes the deserted, rain swept scene for a series of murder attempts that attract the interest of Maigret. While his assistant Leroy uses "science" and "deductions" to trace the murderer, Maigret`s instincts guide him to the real killer past a labyrinth of characters.

Описание: Madame Thouret had no trouble identifying her husband's body. What puzzled her was that he was wearing light brown shoes and a garish tie she'd never seen before. Maigret masterfully reconstructs the secret life of a vulnerable man who has made a desperate attempt to evade the failure and isolation of his rigidly conventional life.

'A truly wonderful writer ...marvellously readable - lucid, simple, absolutely in tune with that world he creates of run-down hotels, cold, dark barges, quaysidecanal-taverns, lurking prostitutes, pot-bellied burghers, taciturn youths, slippery barmen.' - Muriel Spark, "Sunday Times."
