Maigret in Vichy – Part 1 of 3 | Georges Simenon | A Holiday... and a Murder | DETECTIVE TALES

Maigret is on medical leave in the peaceful spa town of Vichy, embracing slow walks, mineral water, and quiet mornings with his wife. But serenity is short-lived when a woman in lilac—a figure of mystery among the park’s familiar faces—is found murdered. In this atmospheric first part, Simenon builds a quiet tension where nothing is urgent—until it is. As Maigret resists the call of his old instincts, a crime unfolds just outside his reach. 🎙 Narrated by Jason Fraser. Subscribe to Detective Tales for full-length classic crime audiobooks.
