This is a capably told zombie story that includes an intriguing plot development which is never fully explored. Instead we lurch from one set piece to another amongst a set of characters who are rarely more than mildly interesting. There is a nihilis ...more

This was a very quick read, much of it being dialogue. Whilst the characters are well drawn, I felt this to be one of the weaker Maigret novels with quite a bit of repetition. The translation also seemed less French, if that makes sense. It's still a ...more
