Publisher's Summary

When Maigret's .45 revolver is stolen from his home, he becomes embroiled in a murder in which the gun may have played a deadly role.

Maigret is the victim of a burglary in which the .45 revolver he had received as a gift from the FBI is stolen. That evening Maigret attends a dinner where François Lagrange, an acquaintance of Maigret's friend, is expected but fails to appear due to ill health.

Following his instincts, Maigret decides to investigate Lagrange's absence and uncovers a body stowed in a trunk as well as Lagrange, who refuses to talk and seems to have lost his mind. Only Maigret can uncover the truth - and the fateful role his revolver may have played.

typical Maigret.

Beautifully read and full of atmosphere. No gratuitous violence or offensive language. A nice change until I get back to my more pacy thrillers.

engaging and gentle listen

perfect easy listening to accompany housework and gardening. enjoy the writers style and character. narrator matched the mental characters in my head. very easy to listen to and engage with. completed book in a day. next purchase PD James inspector Dalglesh as fancied English equavalent.

OK to fill a few hours.

Not gripping, rather dated but ok to cover a few hours in between books.

I didn't think there was much of a plot, nor any reasoning about the way the investigation drifted.
