Inspector Maigret Essentials
Thirteen Inspector Maigret books selected as an accessible tour through Georges Simenon’s landmark detective series.
13 books on this shelf, newest first.
Georges Simenon wrote seventy-five Inspector Maigret novels. Rather than overwhelm new readers, this collection follows Penguin’s thirteen-book capsule selection, mixing early, middle, and late cases with a seasonal story collection.
Where to start: These books can be read independently. Start with The Carter of La Providence or The Saint-Fiacre Affair for an early case, Maigret Sets a Trap for a classic procedural, or Maigret’s Dead Man for Parisian underworld atmosphere.
