Andrew rated a book really liked it Maigret is Afraid (Maigret #42) by Georges Simenon	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Thoroughly enjoyed this Maigret novel where he is drawn into investigating a case when visiting an old friend. Some great characterisation here, achingly poignant at times, with a plot that unravels in a very satisfying manner. Another great read.

So it turns out I'd already read this Maigret - it being the only one I own. The version I read this time around was called The Man on the Bench rather than the Boulevard, and the shoes which fascinate Maigret are yellow rather than brown. Interestin ...more
