A very good Maigret
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I never went to the US and this very good novel gave me some keys in order to understand the american society and the differences with old Europ (and especially with France). And, I realise that, with global world market, the cultural differences between states are becoming smaller and smaller ! May be it's a shame ...
Maigret crosses the Atlantic!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Georges Simenon's erstwhile, clever, venerable Parisian detective Maigret is off on a different mission this time; or rather, off to a different location! It's to America he's off to, and, of course, in no time he becomes involved in a local murder. A young woman is found dead and the companions with whom she had been socializing are now testifying in the coroner's inquiry. But Maigret sees something is amiss! Unfortunately, the brilliant Frenchman is caught in a bind--for one, he hasno legal authority here in Arizona, and for two, the French method of interrogation and inquiry is not the same! But not to worry, Maigret has his day, eventually, as "truth will out," as it always does with Simenon and Maigret. Another good read by this prolific author. ([email protected])
