´The father of contemporary European detective fiction´ Ann Cleeves
In this classic novel featuring Simenon´s literary legend, Inspector Maigret´s holiday in a spa town goes awry as he gets entangled in a local case
Inspector Maigret and his wife take a much-needed rest cure in the spa town of Vichy, where they quickly become used to the leisurely pace of life. But when a woman who they regularly pass by on their daily strolls is murdered, Maigret can´t help but offer his assistance to the local investigation - no matter where it leads.
