Status Updates From La Maison Du Juge

Maigret got somebody arrested and thrown into prison but for a cold case not seemingly connected to the current murder under investigation. Weird.
And the case winds on…

Excellent atmospherics. Gosh during the ten years that Simenon didn’t write any Maigret books, because he thought it was over, had Maigret retire from the PJ and move with Mme. Maigret to a Loire countryside cottage, because there was that very long gap in the writing in the 1930’s, well, somehow his writing improved. From writing some romans durs during those years? Who knows how come?
