Maigret's Doubts by Georges Simenon

5.0

Easily top 10 of the series here. A nifty little setup (a husband and wife both suspecting one is going to murder the other; maigret challenged by the fact that he's emotionally and intellectually involved in a crime that hasn't happened yet) and tons of interesting psychological nuance, not only in the suspect characters but also between Maigret and his feelings about his wife, boss and co-workers. Feels like the perfect gateway book for fans of Simenon's Maigret books and fans of Simenon's roman durs hard psychological novels to take the leap from one to the other if they haven't yet.
