Another Maigret to enjoy, although the 'historic' telling of the story made the action less immediate. Quite a tragic tale of wrongful arrest where the circumstances were out of Maigret's hands. As always, the characterisation and plot are well-rende ...more

I enjoyed this collection of literary, visceral speculative fiction stories with The Spaceman (a kind of coming of age story) being my favourite. In fact, I'd recommended this book on that basis alone (although each of them are worth your time). ...more
