“Maigret In court
-Georges Simenon ⭐⭐⭐
An interesting court room drama.
A definite hit.”
“Great- read it at the shore. one day. Typical fast Maigret read. Maigret must go to the overhot court where he is NOT in his element. Everything is made straightforward- yes and no- what date - etc. but in reality none of M. cases are like that as we know. They are in the mileau... and we are slowly recounted into the environment where the the accused lives a tormented home life. He has been accused of killing his rich aunt and a child in her care. Of course he didn't do it and M. manages his peeps well enough to uncover the truth before the man can be convicted. Great for it's M. reflections on court and what justice amounts to. Also poignant in it's slow consideration of M.'s upcoming retirement and what that will mean. Beautiful.”
