About this listen

Maigret grapples with the American justice system on a trip to Arizona in this new translation, novel 32 of the new Penguin Maigret series.

The FBI man was convinced, in short, that Maigret was a big shot in his own country but that here, in the United States, he was incapable of figuring out anything.... Well, Maigret happened to believe that men and their passions are the same everywhere.

Maigret is touring the United States to observe American policing methods when a visit to a coroner's inquest in Arizona draws him into the tragic story of a young woman and five airmen in the desert.

Critic reviews

"His artistry is supreme." (John Banville)
"One of the greatest writers of the 20th 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)

Quite a different story. Harder to follow and nearly all based in a courtroom.

Not as good as usual

Normally enjoy Maigret stories but this one was boring, found nothing to hold my attention.

Very slow burner.

Something a little different to the normal magrete storyline well worth the reading magret in a foreign land

One of only a few tedious Maigrets.
This one never gets out of first gear & then lamely just ends (presumably when a word count was reached).
Listened to this after listening to Simenon’s notebooks which shed light on his time in the US.
Look elsewhere - there are much better Maigret stories out there.

Tedious
