Read it in one night. A fun, old-school who-done-it with some interesting twists.

Was thinking it would be a great story for a movie, and wouldn't you know? One was made in 1932 and a remake came out in April of this year: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6326286/?ref_=nv_sr_1.

**Update: There are several film versions, the most recent with Rowan Atkinson. I read reviews, and "The Maigret Collection" starring Michael Gambon sounds the best. Hard to find, however. Guess I'll just have to read the other books in this series. :-)
