Book Reviews of Maigret Loses His Temper
Book Review: Beautifully crafted story
Summary: 5 Stars
This classic Chief Inspector Maigret story dates from 1963 when Georges Simenon has turning out one small mystery masterpiece after another. Like many, "Maigret Loses His Temper" has the Chief Inspector dealing with a murder of a respectable Parisian businessman in an unrespectable business, that seems not to have a motive or any real suspects. Author Simeon builds a refined police procedural for Maigret to follow which features, as always, the Chief Inspector's own uncanny interior dialogue. Maigret always looks for greed and/or passion to resolve his cases, and in this particular story, he is not surprised to find that one of these elements leads him to resolution of the case.
The plot is engaging and the focus on the Paris neighborhood of Montmartre and its nightclub life is a great context. A very well-done, neat little reading package that any reader of the genre will thoroughly enjoy.
