Book Synopsis

Georges Simenon''s 75 novels and 28 short stories that feature Chief Inspector Jules Maigret provide us with a great deal of information about the French police detective--but only in small, episodic doses. As readers become acquainted with Maigret one detail at a time, he slowly takes on a flesh-and-bone realism--not merely a character in a story, but someone we would like to meet in real life. This book presents all the canonical facts and details about the detective and his world in one place, presented with tabulations and analyses that enable a better understanding of the works and of Maigret himself.



Trade Review
"The book is conversational and easily read [...] This well-researched collection allows the reader to see Maigret as a tangible, well-rounded, and believable character." - French Studies, 72.3 (2018)
