About this listen
Maigret stumbles upon a series of murders in Fontenay-le-Comte while visiting an old school friend.
On his way home from a conference, Maigret stops to visit an old school friend in Fontenay-le-Comte. A man in the same train car introduces himself and asks if Maigret has come to help solve the murder case. In fact, the man's brother-in-law had been murdered four days earlier, followed by the murder of a local widow in the same way, a blow to the head with a pipe.
While Maigret is in town, a third murder is reported. Maigret soon discovers that there are two warring factions in the town, a clear class separation, and an air of suspicion that only he can put to rest.

Attention! Genius at work.
It's Georges Simenon, Jules Maigret and Gareth Armstrong. If you're seeking literary perfection, you'll always find it here.

Gareth Armstrong superb, Simenon awful.
I have listened to quite a few Maigret Books and have had to give up on only two of them. Madame Maigret was one and this is the other - this being by far the worst. The story is a mess. It is incoherent and, at times unpleasant due to its portrayal of women. The characters are forgettable - so much so that you lose track of who is who and what they are. Also, the setting is depressing and gloomy. So, after four chapters I cannot take any more as it is having a negative effect on my mood and life it too short to waste any more time on this nonsense. . The sole bright spot is, as always, Gareth Armstrong’s superb narration.
