Generally enjoyed this for its historical setting and its take on the classic sherlock Holmes mystery.
However, it was a little bit convoluted at bits but hopefully this is just the first book ironing out it's kinks.

I have read, & loved, a few of Simenon's romans durs but this is my first experience with Maigret outside of a couple stories. It opens with Maigret shadowing a suspicious traveler who ends up committing suicide after having their suitcase switched, by Maigret himself no less. I really liked this propulsive suspense story that went to some really dark places. I will not be reading all of the Maigret books, but I will def be returning to them!

Love seeing a revisit to one on of a Sherlock Holmes story. I am enjoying the series very much. I rated this book a 5 out of 5 stars.
I am really enjoying this series. This mystery was as good as the others and as usual the information was slowly revealed, not only to the reader but to the characters as well. There were many hopeful romance storylines but there was some disappointment there but I won‘t say too much on that or it will spoil it. But I‘m hoping where there was disappointment in this book the next one will resolve it. So, I‘ll be reading the next one and soon.
I loved this book!!! I enjoyed the mystery element in the book. I felt like Holmes and Russell had grown more as a couple. I rated this book a 5 out of 5 stars!!!
