My first Maigret took significantly longer to read than I would have liked, but it was a good time. The Inspector and his wife take in the waters of the spa town of Vichy. It turns out that a woman in a lilac dress has been murdered. Time to solve a mystery! Simenon apparently meant each installment in his series to be consumed in one sitting by day laborers. While I found Maigret in Vichy to take a bit more effort than one might expect from that description, it still was a chill and pleasant experience. Definitely will be reading more.
