Et si, en dehors de la promotion des boissons alcoolisées et du tabac, les Maigret étaient finalement des portraits de nos petites et humanités Des galeries où se croisent toutes les misères possibles sous les yeux d’un commissaire fataliste, alcoolique et résigné par la bêtise et la cupidité de ses semblables Une enquête fort fort sympa qui mène le commissaire là où il ne s’imaginait pas aller Después de pasarse dos días sin dormir para atrapar a una banda de atracadores, el comisario Maigret tiene que enfrentarse casi inmediatamente a otro caso: en plena noche, en una acera de la Avenue Junot, el siempre desventurado inspector Lognon ha recibido dos balazos, su vida, en manos de los cirujanos, pende de un hilo. Al parecer, Lognon, cuya esposa lleva mucho tiempo enferma, últimamente acudía, durante sus guardias nocturnas, a casa de una jovencita que vivía en la Avenue Junot, lo que deja boquiabiertos a sus colegas. En el curso de una investigación vertiginosa. Maigret removerá cielo y tierra para solucionar este nuevo caso. Pero antes se las verá con un rico holandés de modales exquisitos, una despampanante pintora de arte abstracto, un marchante norteamericano -todos ellos relacionados con valiosas colecciones de arte-, con un anciano cuya pasión es observar indiscretamente desde su ventana... y, claro está, con un misterioso fantasma. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Even so, these relatively short novels make compulsive reading, and this one is no exception. And no, this is not a ghost story.
One of the other detectives in the Paris police force is a man named Lognon, but behind his back he is usually called Inspector Luckless or Inspector Hard-Done-By. Although a clever detective, something always goes wrong with his cases. Even when they reach a successful conclusion, somebody else always gets the credit. Now Lognon is found shot and near death just outside the residence of a young woman, with whom the married detective had been spending each night.
An extramarital affair gone wrong? Not to Margaret's eyes. He goes across the street to try to discover what has been going on in the home of a notable art dealer and his beautiful wife. Why has Lognon been watching this house every night?
Maigret may be famous and mystifying, but in most respects he is an ordinary man with a wife he loves and a home he loves to go home to. Madame Maigret usually appears in these novels, and here he credits her with helping to solve the case, even though she has no idea how.
Neither do the rest of us, but it is fun watching it happen just the same. ( )
