Five Chief Inspector Maigret short stories. The back cover states that three of them have never been translated into English previously. We find Maigret all over France: in Paris, in retirement in Meung-sur-Loire, in Cannes, in the Vendee marshlands, and in Coudray in the Seine valley. The stories are: 1. The Improbable Monsieur Owen, 2. The Men at the Grand Café, 3. The Man on the Streets, 4. Candle Auction, and 5. Death Threats. The ones not available in English until this collection are #1, #2, and #5. Librarian's note: this is a collection of five short stories. Each of the individual stories, including the title story, has its own entry elsewhere on Goodreads. Note that titles vary slightly depending on the translator.
