Our first foray into the work of Georges Simenon sees us tackle one of the Belgian writer's most celebrated books. When a barge travelling through the Parisian neighbourhood of Quai de Valmy dredges up body parts in the canal Saint Martin, Detective Jules Maigret is called in to investigate. His efforts lead him to a quiet bistro operated by Aline Calas, a figure whose enigmatic presence compels the seasoned sleuth to dig deeper. Part procedural, part character-profiling, "Maigret and the Headless Corpse" made for a unique read and a really great discussion!
