Byla tu také podobnost toho místa s tím, které Maigret tak dobře znal… A samozřejmě vražda Leonie Birardové, z níž byl podezřelý právě zde přítomný Joseph Gastin. Ale může skutečně za smrt podivínské stařeny, nebo z něj místní obyvatelé jen udělali obětního beránka? „S klidem, rozvahou a kořalkou se komisař dobere nečekaných rozuzlení a já jsem s jeho výkonem plně spokojen.“ – databazeknih.cz. „Hlas Jana Vlasáka už mám neoddělitelně spjatý s postavou Maigreta a snad bych v jiném podání příběh ani nestrávila.

The fifth book in the new Penguin Maigret series: Georges Simenon''s gripping tale of small town suspicion and revenge, in Linda Asher''s timeless translation.There was an exaggerated humility about her. Her cowed eyes, her way of gliding noiselessly about without bumping into things, of quivering nervously at the slight­est word, were the very image of a scullery maid accustomed to hardship. And yet he sensed, beneath that image, glints of pride held firmly in check. She was anaemic. Her flat chest was not formed to rouse desire. Nevertheless, she was strangely appealing, perhaps because she seemed troubled, despondent, sickly.In the windswept seaside town of Concarneau, a local wine merchant is shot. In fact, someone is out to kill all the influential men and the entire town is soon sent into a state of panic.

When their relative arrives unannounced from Germany, with his unsettling, nonchalant ways, the family becomes the target of increasing suspicion and the scapegoat for a terrible crime.

Oh, and a copy of The Tuscan Child to savor with them.” —NPRIn 1944, British bomber pilot Hugo Langley parachuted from his stricken plane into the verdant fields of German-occupied Tuscany. Badly wounded, he found refuge in a ruined monastery and in the arms of Sofia Bartoli. But the love that kindled between them was shaken by an irreversible betrayal. Nearly thirty years later, Hugo’s estranged daughter, Joanna, has returned home to the English countryside to arrange her father’s funeral. Among his personal effects is an unopened letter addressed to Sofia. In it is a startling revelation. Still dealing with the emotional wounds of her own personal trauma, Joanna embarks on a healing journey to Tuscany to understand her father’s history—and maybe come to understand herself as well.

Audiokniha: Vypadalo to jako obyčejná vražda… To by se k ní ale nesměla připlést ta holka s čelem jako umíněná koza! V idylické čtvrti venkovského charakteru na předměstí Paříže je zavražděn postarší muž. Vyšetřování se ujímá Maigret, avšak jediným potenciálním svědkem je dívka jménem Felicie, jež pracovala jako služka oběti. Svérázná Normanďanka má hlavu poblázněnou brakovým čtivem a je odhodlaná neprozradit ani slovo z toho, co snad ví. Komisař je rozhodnutý dostat z děvčete výpověď, s prostořekou Felicií to ovšem nebude mít lehké. „Jan Vlasák je profesionál a dostane-li se mu správné příležitosti, umí textu dodat další rozměr; umí i v intimním prostředí nahrávacího studia vytvořit iluzi prostoru, času a postav.“ ‒ naposlech.cz Copyrights: Audiokniha (P) & © OneHotBook, 2016.

Audiokniha: „Ne, nemyslím si, že jde o šílence,“ opakoval Maigret. V dopise doručeném na nábřeží Zlatníků se píše, že v nejbližší době zřejmě dojde k vraždě. Jeho pisatel sice nesdělí žádné další podrobnosti ani o sobě, ani o případné oběti, přesto v něm však úmyslně jistou stopu zanechá. Pátrání dovede komisaře Maigreta do přepychového bytu v luxusní čtvrti, ve kterém je nynějším pánem advokát Parendon. Ne každému z jeho domácnosti jsou ale Maigretovy návštěvy po chuti a ne všichni s ním, zdá se, hovoří na rovinu. Podaří se nakonec komisaři zabránit předem avizovanému mordu? Anebo to celé byl jen nějaký žert? „Jedním slovem skvělé... Simenon je naprosto jedinečným vypravěčem – jeho psaní je doslova návykové.“ – The Observer. „Všichni jsme potenciálními postavami v románu – s tím rozdílem, že postavy v románu skutečně prožijí svůj život naplno.“ – Georges Simenon.
