Des notables peu recommandables...

À Concarneau, des faits troublants mettent la ville en émoi. On tente d'assassiner M. Mostaguen, au sortir de sa partie de cartes quotidienne à l'Hôtel de l'Amiral. Le sort s'acharne sur ses partenaires, car, deux jours après l'arrivée de Maigret, Jean Servières, rédacteur au Phare de Brest, disparaît ; le siège avant de sa voiture est maculé de sang. M. Le Pommeret meurt chez lui, empoisonné. Le docteur Michoux pense être le suivant.

Le Chien Jaune is an early Simenon/Maigret - the larger than life Maigret, the emphatic Maigret. It is a mystery of betrayal and revenge in a provincial town where an unscrupulous clique of high-heeled boys rules, but whose mutual luck is just starting to unravel. Le Chien Jaune -- the yellow dog -- a large, fearless breed -- seems to appear after criminal attacks, and becomes an omen for the ignorant.
Simenon is a superb writer. His prose is spare and taut. The ending - Maigret gathering all the parties in the courtyard of a citadel for cross examination - is classic - please note that this novel predates Christie's, Murder on the Orient Express, by three years. The narrator has wonderful pronunciation. It is unabridged.

Classic Maigret
