Si, si, que de l’eau ! Et c’est alors qu’une femme sera retrouvée morte étranglée. Pris dans l’enquête, Maigret accompagnera le commissaire Lecoeur dans une histoire sordide qui dévoilera un piètre et très touchant meurtrier El comisario está descansando en el famoso enclave de aguas medicinales de Vichy.

Maigret On Vacation Review of the Penguin Classics paperback (June 2019) of a new translation* by Ros Schwartz of the French language original "Maigret à Vichy" (1968) [3.5] What else did they have to do with their days? They ambled around casually. From time to time, they paused, not because they were out of breath but to admire a tree, a house, the play of light and shadow, or a face.

Maigret in Vichy finds the Parisian Chief Inspector sent to take the waters in the resort town of Vichy on the orders of his friend Doctor Pardon. The 53 year-old (n.b. for once, the age of Maigret is mentioned and indicates that Maigret time is passing more slowly than real time i.e. it has already been a 37 year old career since Pietr the Latvian (1931)) is feeling the stresses of the job and is remarkably subservient to his doctor's orders. Madame Maigret joins him for the rest cure which requires walking around the town to drink the various mineral waters at different springs and to avoid alcohol. The always observant Maigret notices a single woman who is regularly taking in the music at the town's bandstand. She becomes the murder victim and a case for Maigret even while on vacation. Maigret is a known personality and his consultation is an expected fact by the local press and authorities and of course the Chief Inspector cannot resist in providing his usual perceptive observations and recommendations. What at first seems a bungled case of burglary is gradually revealed to be the not unexpected result of a long running blackmail scheme. Although this is a very relaxed Maigret in comparison to most cases, it was pleasant to see the Chief Inspector in a cozy mood and enjoying the company of Madame Maigret in a vacation setting.

Image sourced from Maigret of the Month. I read the first dozen Maigret novellas earlier this year and then intended to proceed with several of Simenon's romans durs (French: hard novels) which he considered his more serious work, as opposed to the lighter fare involving the Chief Inspector. The non-Maigrets are a bit more difficult to source however and there seem to be less than a dozen in current editions from Penguin Classics. Anyway, to keep the Simenon pipeline flowing, I thought I'd add several of the late Maigrets to my ongoing reading survey. In the continuing confusion for completists, this is Maigret #68 in the recent Penguin Classics series of new translations (2013-2019) of the Inspector Maigret novels and short stories, but it is Maigret #67 in the previous standard Maigret Series Listopia as listed on Goodreads. Trivia and Links * Some earlier English translations have given the title as Maigret Takes the Waters. There is extensive background and a detailed plot description (spoilers obviously) about Maigret in Vichy at Maigret of the Month. Maigret in Vichy has been adapted for film once in a French language television version as Episode 64 of the long running series Les enquêtes du commissaire Maigret (The Investigations of Inspector Maigret) (1967-1990) starring Jean Richard as Inspector Maigret.

When his relaxing vacation is interrupted by a small-town murder, Inspector Maigret can't resist lending his investigative powers to the case Inspector Maigret and his wife take a much needed holiday to Vichy, where they quickly become used to the slower pace of life. But when a woman who they regularly pass by on their daily strolls is murdered, Maigret can't help but offer his assistance to the local Inspector, a former colleague of his. Set against a backdrop of gorgeous French countryside, Maigret in Vichy shows that even when our trusty detective is outside his jurisdiction, he is still very much in his element.
