[@CandlewickLibrary]

I’ve never heard of this author or books. Thanks for sharing

They are very atmospheric for that time in France. Worth a try if you can find them cheaply. Best wishes.

Thank you for the tag. I've never heard of this author Simenon. You have quite the collection. 📚📚

Very atmospheric for that time in France. Some of the stories are better than others. Worth a try I think if you can find them cheap. Simenon is very famous in his native France. Best wishes.

[@Maeve_Ever_Books]

New to me!! Thanks for talking about this author!

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

Yes a few subscribers have commented similar. He would be very big in his native France. Hope you are reading something good Maeve.

Thank you for doing the tag! I have yet to read any of the Maigret books, although they have been sort of one the periphery of books I want to read...I think it might be time to move Simenon onto my TBR!

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

I hope you enjoy them. They are very atmospheric and take you to that time in France. Some of the stories are better than others. Best wishes

Good vid. The way you describe Maigret reminds me of the way I felt recently re-reading a Margery Allingham, that sense of another time and place.

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

Thanks for the tip. I have a few Margery Allingham on the bookshelf and not got around to them yet. I can't keep your pace!

@@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk I do read rather fast.

This was terrific, Nigel. I do love these old paperbacks, and I love these old mystery series especially. Over 400 novels written! I can't even imagine. I'm reading around a bit in Agatha Christie these days, and I do enjoy going back into an earlier world. I really enjoyed your overview of the Maigret books. Thank you!

[@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk]

Thank you for the encouragement Pat it is much appreciated. I've not read any Agatha Christie in a lot of years but I remember enjoying them. I have picked up a few to get around to at some point. The groaning tbr! Best wishes!

@@ReadingIDEAS.-uz9xk I hadn't read her in years either, until March Mystery Madness. Then I started reading her again. She's a real comfort read for me, I think. At least the Miss Marples are. I have to tell you: I sent a link to your detecting page (different kind of detecting...😉) to my friend, and I was exploring it a bit too. I've subscribed over there too. Just incredible finds!
