pickAnother solid offering from Simenon, the 72nd of 75 Maigret novels, the only indications that he must be getting on a bit being his melancholy when he meets an old colleague's teenage son because he and his wife never had children, & his obliviousness to rock music.
The mystery is handled well, of course, & it's a rather sad & sorry affair, which Maigret approaches somewhat bullishly, if not brutally, until Mme. Maigret gently pricks his humanity.
vivastory How many Simenon books have you read? Personal favorites? I'm intrigued, if a bit intimidated by the catologue! 2y
Bookwomble @vivastory I've read 12, so a lot more to go! I'm not taking them in any particular order, just whatever the library has in, and that's working fine. I'm not actively trying to read them all, as it's nice to know that there's more to read. They're easily digestible, but not disposable. I haven't read one yet that I haven't enjoyed 😊 Tagged is my highest rated at 5⭐, though it was my 10th and feeling like an old friend by this point.![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
