I was huge Maigret/Simenon fan as a teenager and will look forward to this relaunch…
French detective Jules Maigret will return to British shores this autumn, with Penguin publishing all 75 books in Georges Simenon’s series over as many months.
Starting with Pietr the Latvian, the first in the series, on 7th November, one Maigret title will be published every month as a £6.99 paperback in what is one of Penguin’s most ambitious and extensive series launches ever.
As well as the Maigret novels, Penguin also has plans to re-publish a selection of Simenon’s literary works—of which there are “about 150”—including The Stain on the Snow and The Man Who Watched the Trains Go By.
