Maigret and the Old Lady

Maigret uncovers some troubling family politics in this new translation, book thirty-three of the new Penguin Maigret series. `He had realized that it was her eyes as much as her vivacity that made her look so young. They were of a blue that was paler than the September sky over the sea and still had an expression of surprise, of wonderment` When a charming elderly widow appeals to him for help, Inspector Maigret travels to a seaside village in Normandy – uncovering a lost fortune and some poisonous family politics. Penguin is publishing the entire series of Maigret novels in new translations. `His artistry is supreme` John Banville `One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century …Simenon was unequalled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories` Guardian `A supreme writer …unforgettable vividness` Independent
