'Compelling, remorseless, brilliant' John Gray 'She came forward, the outlines of her figure blurred in the half-light. She came forward like a film star, or rather like the ideal woman in an adolescent's dream. 'I gather you wish to talk to me, Inspector . . . but first of all please sit down . . .' Her accent was more pronounced than Carl's. Her voice sang, dropping on the last syllable of the longer words.' Maigret has been interrogating Carl Andersen for seventeen hours without a confession. He's either innocent or a very good liar. So why was the body of a diamond merchant found at his isolated mansion? Why is his sister always shut away in her room? And why does everyone at Three Widows Crossroads have something to hide? This novel has been published in previous translations as Maigret at the Crossroads and The Crossroad Murders. 'One of the greatest writers of the twentieth century . . . Simenon was unequalled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories' Guardian 'A supreme writer . . . unforgettable vividness' Independent

  1. Ett riktigt rafflande tidigt fall för Maigret
    Jan Erik Hallström, 6 juli 2022

    Efter att ha läst de flesta av böckerna om kommissarie Maigret på svenska, har jag börjat läsa flera av hans allra tidigaste, från 1931, på engelska i Penguins versioner. I berättelserna om Pietr the Latvian och The Late Monsieur Gallet var det svårt att riktigt känna igen Jules Maigret. Han verkade ännu inte vara riktigt fullt utmejslad som den karaktär vi känner från de senare böckerna, och intrigerna kändes ansträngt komplicerade. Men i Night at the Crossroads börjar vi känna igen honom, o... Läs hela recensionen

Övrig information

Georges Simenon was born in Liège, Belgium in 1903. An intrepid traveller with a profound interest in people, Simenon strove on and off the page to understand, rather than to judge, the human condition in all its shades. His novels include the Inspector Maigret series and a richly varied body of wider work united by its evocative power, its economy of means, and its penetrating psychological insight. He is among the most widely read writers in the global canon. He died in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he had lived for the latter part of his life.
