Maigret's Dark Isomer

One of the very best Maigret cases. The inspector finds himself in a case that confronts him with not only the dark currents that sway others but may perhaps influence his own soul.

Another excellent Maigret story.

Once again, the writing of Simenon puts most others into the shade with its inventiveness and powers of description and character analysis. Also, yet again, the narration by Gareth Armstrong is superb and makes every character utterly believable. I always picture Michael Gambon as Maigret when listening to these stories.
