An earlier English translation than this one was published under the title Maigret and the Fortuneteller.The plot opens with a clerk finding a note on a blotter in a cafe predicting the murder of a clairvoyant. Mademoiselle Jeanne the clairvoyant, an attractive woman, is indeed killed, right on schedule, and Maigret's investigation begins.Maigret is suspicious of the clerk, but then he's suspicious of everyone even vaguely associated with the clairvoyant -- the muddled old man found locked in her kitchen, the old man's unpleasant wife and daughter, a suspicious fellow who often stayed at an inn on the Seine where Jeanne sometimes stayed, a mysterious man in a green convertible spotted near Jeanne's place.Maigret has his men tailing persons of interest all over Paris, and he himself interrogates people again and again. It's a pleasure to watch him in a fever of cerebral activity, getting no sleep, smoking his pipe to stay awake, fueled solely by quick cafe meals and quantities of alcohol. A hasty breakfast of sausage and white wine is typical!Like most Maigret mysteries, this one is remarkable for atmosphere. But rather than portraying one locale, Simenon shows Maigret everywhere absorbing sights and smells -- the ill-lit stairway of a Paris apartment building, a sunny inn on the Seine, a young woman's bedroom redolent of face powder and soapy water...Events surrounding the crime turn out to be incredibly complex. But Maigret has a wonderful way of tricking people into revealing things. His unmethodical methods are a delight, as are the surprising twists, quirky humor, and subtle ironies in this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Maigret stories are like wading through pudding. *by P***7 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 27, 2020* Little things happen in the beginning, so pay attentionEarly on, it's like wading through ankle deep water. I thought "must pay attention, clues here somewhere". Scenery changes, more characters appear. Now I'm wading through knee deep water. Where is all this going? Following Maigret back and forth. Even he is puzzled. Now I'm wading through pudding. Finally some clues start to make sense, but not for long. Maigret finally figured it all out. The first crime connects to the second crime, etc. etc. It sort of ends, not with a bang as in "we got them" but with a shrug...oh, well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great description of French life along with a compelling mystery *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 22, 2020* Loved the settings and characters, all quite strange. A somewhat unsatisfying denouement, however. But definitely worth reading.
