Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Adapted for audio by Frederick Spoerly???, this excellent full-cast recording of a Simenon trilogy offers crime drama of psychological depth. In the first story, Chief Inspector Maigret of the Paris police investigates the murder of a young man who is stabbed from behind on a street. It first appears his death is the result of his habit of tape-recording conversations, and four burglars are arrested. Whereupon, the real murderer writes to the newspapers. In "Maigret Sets a Trap" (Audio Reviews, LJ 10/1/93), five women have been stabbed to death as they walk along the streets of Paris. Maigret arranges for a female policewoman to act as a decoy. The killer refuses to confess, and Maigret effectively psychoanalyzes what led him to become a hater of women. In "Maigret's Christmas," the appearance of "Father Time" in a child's bedroom leads to a case of theft and murder that Maigret solves virtually from his armchair. Each case offers up middle-class criminals, along with some interesting insights into the character of Madame Maigret. Sound quality is excellent.

Product Description
Maigret, accompanying his physician on an emergency call, is drawn into one of his most stubborn cases yet. The victim, a son of a wealthy perfume manufacturer, had been enjoying an odd hobby before his death: collecting human voices with a tape recorder, often in the rougher districts of Paris. But his wallet and his tape recorder have been left untouched, so the killer's motive is unclear. The absence of clues begins to exasperate Maigret until an anonymous letter reveals that he is dealing with no ordinary criminal.
