A Man's Head | Georges Simenon

2 posts | 2 read

Set in the oppressively squalid streets of Paris, A Man's Head features Simenon's famed detective as he tracks a killer on the run, while the writer's sharp prose evokes the atmosphere of Parisian luxury hotels, seedy bars, and dark alleys.

A Man's Head | Georges Simenon

Second book finished for #NovelNovember! @Andrew65

This installment of the Maigret series has the most exciting start of the ones I've read so far, with a condemned prisoner escaping from his cell.

I also watched the TV adaptation with Bruno Cremier, which was good though melodramatic. The characters drank a lot of Manhattans in the Parisian bar!

A Man's Head | Georges Simenon

Maigret orchestrates the escape of a man on death row because he either believes the man didn't commit the crime or was a pawn in it. Turns out he was spot on and comes up with a criminal who likes to be puppeteer.

Like Poirot without a sidekick to help explain what is going on while it is going on. Instead Maigret explains all to his superiors at the end.
