Maigret Loses His Temper

Summary: Maigret Pokes around the Montmarte Neighborhood
Review: The owner of a Montmarte strip club is found murdered. He has been strangled and his body has been dumped on a distant street. Jules Maigret knows that this is not a typical gangland killing. Mobsters do not strangle their victims and then carry them to another neighborhood.

This is a typical Maigret mystery. There is no gun play or fancy forensic work. Just the venerable Chief Inspector Maigret walking around the streets of Montmarte using his considerable mental skills to solve a murder.

Goerges Simenon wrote over 200 novels. Over 500 million copies of his novels have been published. Inspector Jules Maigret is one of the all time greatest characters of detective fiction. "Maigret Loses his Temper" is a good example of Georges Simenon's craft.
