THE FLEMISH HOUSE Inspector Maigret, Book 14

James Faulkner delivers a resonant, understated performance as the no-nonsense Inspector Maigret, capturing both the French detective's quiet authority and the wary suspicion with which the residents of a small border town regard him. When a young woman disappears, Maigret is summoned by Anna Peeters to clear her brother's name. Joseph is believed to have fathered a child with the missing woman. Faulkner's measured narration mirrors the detective's methodical approach as he weighs clues and interrogates uneasy witnesses. Faulkner's transitions between characters are seamless, and the female suspects are voiced with a gentle lift in tone that captures nuances of personality. A compelling, atmospheric portrayal of the much-loved Maigret and his world. [Published: JANUARY 2026]
