Maigret's Special Murder by Georges Simenon

Maigret's Special Murder by Georges Simenon—originally published in French as Maigret et l’Affaire Nahour—is a classic Inspector Maigret mystery that delves into the murky intersections of wealth, passion, and secrecy. When a well-known doctor is found shot dead in his Paris apartment, Maigret is drawn into a case involving a glamorous but troubled Lebanese family, tangled relationships, and layers of deception. As always, Maigret relies on his deep psychological insight and quiet persistence rather than flashy detective work, peeling back social facades to uncover hidden motives. With its moody atmosphere and sharp character studies, the novel showcases Simenon's signature blend of crime and human drama.
