Without doubt one of the best Maigret stories.

This is without doubt one of the best Maigret stories which holds you right from the beginning and (almost) to the end. The plot and dialogue are truly exceptional and the narration, by Gareth Armstrong, could not be . However, the end is rather ludicrous and implausible. A let down.
