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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this delightful holiday-themed collection of nine short stories, Inspector Maigret must solve a series of little mysteries—just in time for Christmas morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChristmas 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Georges Simenon, David Coward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43698645270697,"sku":"9780241356746","price":5.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0424\/9518\/0962\/files\/9780241356746.jpg?v=1708746591","url":"https:\/\/roseyravelstonbooks.com.au\/products\/a-maigret-christmas-and-other-stories-inspector-maigret","provider":"RoseyRavelston Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
