Resumen del Editor
Maigret savoured the sensations of his youth again: the cold, stinging eyes, frozen fingertips, an aftertaste of coffee. Then, stepping inside the church, a blast of heat, soft light; the smell of candles and incense.
The last time Maigret went home to the village of his birth was for his father's funeral. Now an anonymous note predicting a crime during 'All Souls' Day mass draws him back there, where troubling memories resurface and hidden vices are revealed.
Georges Simenon was born in Liège, Belgium, in 1903. Best known in Britain as the author of the Maigret books, his prolific output of over 400 novels and short stories have made him a household name in continental Europe. He died in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he had lived for the latter part of his life.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"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)

Historia
The first audiobook which appeared in Georges Simenon's famous Maigret series, in a gripping new translation by David Bellos.Inevitably Maigret was a hostile presence in the Majestic. He constituted a kind of foreign body that the hotel's atmosphere could not assimilate. Not that he looked like a cartoon policeman. He didn't have a moustache and he didn't wear heavy boots. His clothes were well cut and made of fairly light worsted. He shaved every day and looked after his hands. But his frame was proletarian. He was a big, bony man.

Historia
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, (1860-1904), was born in Russia at Taganrog on the Sea of Azov. His name has become synonymous with a certain literary style much admired and widely copied since his death. Typically, a Chekhov story is a "mood", a state of mind, usually with regard to relations between one person and another. Under the influence of the constant, infinitesimal, and unforeseen pinpricks of life, there occurs a gradual transformation of that state of mind.

And I'm not sorry".

The first novel Nabokov wrote while living in America, and the most overtly political novel he ever wrote, Bend Sinister is a modern classic. While it is filled with veiled puns and characteristically delightful wordplay, it is, first and foremost, a haunting and compelling narrative about a civilized man caught in the tyranny of a police state. Professor Adam Krug, the country's foremost philosopher, offers the only hope of resistance to Paduk, dictator and leader of the Party of the Average Man.

During intermission at the famed La Fenice opera house in Venice, Italy, a notoriously difficult and widely disliked German conductor is poisoned—and suspects abound. Guido Brunetti, a native Venetian, sets out to unravel the mystery behind the high-profile murder. To do so, he calls on his knowledge of Venice, its culture, and its dirty politics. Along the way, he finds the crime may have roots going back decades—and that revenge, corruption, and even Italian cuisine may play a role.

Siminon delivers the goods once again!
Margaret is faced by an ugly little problem, in his home town: even in his old home! You can't go home again, and Simenon makes that crystal clear. Don't want to give it away. I will tell you, dear reader that at this time, 1000 francs equaled about 600 US$. Bless you and keep safe, cousin.

On the Feast of All Souls in Moulins
Maigret is back in Moulins, the place of his birth. The police have received a message: "A crime will be committed at the church of Saint-Fiacre during first Mass on All Souls' Day."
When the Comtesse de Saint-Fiacre is found dead in her pew, a search begins for her missal, which may hold the key to her death.
Why should anyone want to do away with this woman, whom Maigret remembers in her promising, lovely youth? Many villagers, the parish priest, and a series of the countess' secretaries who became her lovers, all have secrets to keep, and good reasons to misdirect attention elsewhere. But could this be the one case Maigret loses control of? He begins to wonder....
The mystery has a hint of Christie's "A Murder Is Announced," but just a hint. The story is pure Simenon otherwise. The way the author illuminates a character with the telling detail, the sensory vividness of setting and scene, and his understanding of the world in which he lived combine to make this a great one.
The mysteries are novellas, or perhaps long stories, just the right length for lots of listens. I love the concise way Simenon writes, without a word wasted.
Gareth Armstrong is, as ever, perfect here. I hope he will continue to narrate the Maigret books, as I've become so accustomed to him in the role I can't imagine anyone else in his place!
