Amusant ce Maigret dans lequel il se retrouve avec une jeune femme dont il n’arrive à faire façon. Comme un ours avec un origami ou un morse au 400m haies. Ce vieux bougon qui à bien de la peine à gérer ses colère face à cette petite impertinente qu’il essaie de vouloir aider malgré elle m’a bien amusé ¿Por qué han asesinado a Jules Lapie, alias Pata de Palo? Ya retirado, vivía del dinero de una pensión, en su casita nueva. El comisario Maigret, encargado de investigar el caso, hurga en su pasado, organiza incluso redadas en París para capturar a posibles sospechosos, pero su atención se desvía una y otra vez hacia Felicia, la sirvienta de la víctima. Another Maigret published in wartime but set back in the idyllic thirties when there was nothing much to worry about beyond murder, robbery, gangland feuds and speculative building... Simenon takes Maigret into the unusual setting of a crude new middle-class suburban development in the Seine valley, but it soon turns out that the murder of a retired accountant there has its roots in much more familiar territory: the nightclubs and brothels of Montmartre, and the Norman fishing community of Fécamp. The story turns on Maigret's frustratingly slow progress into the confidence of the most important witness in the case, the dead man's insufferable housekeeper Félicie. This is often very funny, but it also reads rather uncomfortably at times. Simenon and Maigret clearly have a lot of sympathy with her position as a poorly educated but ambitious young woman from a deprived, working-class rural background, Eliza Doolittle without the brains, but Simenon also allows Maigret to patronise her appallingly, treating her like a little girl in the end. He literally puts her to bed with a hot drink at the most exciting point in the story... Technically not a bad crime story, but in social terms it really isn't one that stands the test of time. Maigret and the Toy Village (1944) by Simenon. A retired accountant has been murdered in the bedroom of his small, cookie-cutter home just outside Paris. The young woman who is a live-in housekeeper has to be the prime suspect, but Maigret has a father-like fondness for her. This happens despite her persistent obstruction of the investigation. Years later just the mention of her name, Felicie, will send cold shivers up him. There is almost nothing to go on, the woman insists on not helping beyond her initial statements, and the case looks hopeless. Thankfully Maigret has nothing more pressing than to hang around the newish housing development, drink with the locals, send messages back and forth to headquarters in Paris where it appears the entire detective squad has nothing better to do that follow up mystic clues from their chief. And somehow the case gets solved. A Simenon story is about place and time, setting is half the story while patience is the other. This appears to be an uncomplicated murder, but the reveal is very surprising. A nice little tour book for the days when Paris was much more sleepy and civilized. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

"One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequaled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories." --The Guardian A story of love and obsession featuring a most memorable femme fatale, starring the intrepid Inspector Maigret Peg Leg Lapie, a crusty old sailor, is found mysteriously murdered in a most incongruous setting: a picturesque cottage near Paris, where he lived attended only by his young housekeeper, Félicie. But Lapie was not alone--Maigret, chief inspector of the Paris police, is sure of it. A man at work in his garden, wearing clogs and a straw hat, does not suddenly drop his tools to go indoors and fetch a bottle of brandy to drink alone in the summerhouse. There must have been another glass that someone removed. But Félicie, in her red hat trimmed with an iridescent feather, proves a champion adversary, as skilled in innuendo and evasion as Maigret is in deduction.

Este es el 46, que por un descuido imperdonable he leído antes que el 45.
Qué voy a decir, es una delicia. Me ha gustado mucho el contraste entre los dos mundos de Maigret: la casa en un pueblo de la que solo sale para ir al bar, y al mismo tiempo las redadas en Montmartre y el movimiento de los bares, salas de fiestas y hoteles costrosos.
Félicie es uno de los personajes más trabajados que he visto. Debería estudiarse su construcción en todas las escuelas de escritura, porque ese es realmente el enigma de esta novela: cómo se va dibujando un personaje, como se disipan unas nieblas y aparecen otras, hasta que lo podemos ver con claridad suficiente. De la mano de un bogavante, todo sea dicho, que es otra de las habilidades enormes de Simenon: esos detalles quie son casi un McGuffin, que no aportan nada a la historia pero lo dicen todo.
