Simenon makes the complex seem so simple

How do you solve a murder that hasn’t happened yet? That’s the premise of this, one of the most unusual of the Maigret novels. The story revolves around an unhappy marriage in which both husband and wife may - or may not - be planning to kill each other. Maigret feels compelled to investigate in order to prevent a tragedy. But investigate what, exactly? Is there a crime underway, or is it just his own, over-active mind looking for something to do during an uncharacteristically quiet period at Quai des Orfèvres? Simenon turns the genre on its head in truly compelling style. A brilliant listen, enhanced no end as always by Gareth Armstrong’s definitive narration.
