Maigret Goes to School (Inspector Maigret) by Georges Simenon & Linda Coverdale digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A quiet seaside village reveals dark secrets when Maigret investigates the murder of its former postmistress.

Drawn by the lure of springtime in the countryside and a sentimental attachment to village life, Maigret agrees to investigate the shocking murder of a retired postmistress in a small seaside village. His hopes for a country idyll are soon frustrated, however, when he realizes that beneath the villagers’ calm routines lie grudges years in the making.

Maigret Goes to School
is one of Georges Simenon’s most lyrical and quietly disturbing novels. As he unravels a complicated web of sexual jealousy, casual cruelty, and financial fraud, Maigret is haunted by memories of his own rural childhood, reminding him how little village life has changed—and how well it conceals its darkest impulses.

About Georges Simenon

Georges Simenon (1903–1989) was born in Liège, Belgium. An intrepid traveler with a profound interest in people, Simenon strove on and off the page to understand—and not to judge—the human condition in all its shades. His books include the Inspector Maigret series and a richly varied body of wider work united by its evocative power, its economy of means, and its penetrating psychological insight. He is among the most widely read writers in the global canon.
