Currently enjoying another great psychological murder case, featuring Inspector Maigret The Little Man from Archangel. Well written by Georges Simenon.

simenon is great, but i think his romains durs (non-maigret books basically) are even better. he is brutally efficient with character and plot in a way where you're like, yeah, that's the exact minimum to get a good story and he nailed it



Funnily enough I'm only part way into The Little Man from Archangel, which I found out after posting, is a non-Maigret human tragedy. Simenon's words can paint the scene beautifuly and put you inside the (often flawed) character's head. With or without Maigret, good stuff.
