The series has been praised for its rich atmosphere, the depth of its characters, and the realistic portrayal of police work. It's an excellent choice if you enjoy classic detective fiction with a strong sense of place and character.
The Inspector Maigret series by Georges Simenon is one of the most famous detective series in literature. The series follows Inspector Jules Maigret, a French police detective, as he solves crimes in Paris and across France. Simenon wrote 75 novels and 28 short stories featuring Maigret between 1931 and 1972.
Maigret is characterized by his methodical approach to crime-solving, his empathy for people from all walks of life, and his deep understanding of human nature. Unlike many detectives in literature, Maigret doesn't rely on flashy techniques or brilliant deductions. Instead, he immerses himself in the atmosphere of the crime, often getting to know the victims and suspects on a personal level. His approach is more about understanding the people involved and their motivations.
