If you haven't read one of Simenon's Maigret novels, you can start with this one or any one of the numerous titles that have been translated for the English reading public. I guarantee you will be addicted in a heartbeat and start beating the bushes to find as many as you can. One word of caution---many of the books have gone out of print and then re-released under a different title. You may be elated in finding a new Maigret only to find you've already read it under a different title.
