Xavier Marton no tenía, precisamente, aspecto de trangresor de la ley. Era un hombre tímido, dependiente de unos grandes almacenes, lector voraz de tratados sobre enfermedades mentales. Apareció un día en el despacho de Maigret, para anunciarle su convencimiento de que Gisèle, su esposa, intentaba asesinarle, Maigret apenas le escuchó. Horas después, ni recordaba su nombre. Pero, Xavier Marton fue asesinado. La investigación obligará a Maigret a abismarse en lecturas de psicología médica, hasta convertirse casi en un especialista en psicosis pasionales...

Xavier Marton is convinced his wife, Gisèle, is trying to poison him. Gisèle knows of his suspicions and considers them to have roots in mental health issues. Who’s telling the truth? And why did Xavier and Gisèle come to Maigret separately, when no crime has happened yet? All Maigret can do is watch and gather information against the day that somebody dies. Who will that be, and when, and how?

If you like your mysteries with the murders in the first chapter, you’ll probably be disappointed with this one, because it takes well over 100 pages for the actual death to occur. This is a book about the pre-crime much more than the crime itself. It’s also about Maigret examining his own relationship with his wife, as well as some nice moments with him and his officers where he puts them on the case and looks out for them at the same time. It took me a while to finish this book, but that was definitely more on me than on the book. A Maigret is a quick read, normally, and if you’re learning French as an adult, they’re very good for practice. ( )

Une histoire tenue par des fils arachnéens, pas vraiment cohérente et un peu bizarre ou Monsieur et Madame s’accusent mutuellement de vouloir s’empoisonner devant les yeux d’une belle-sœur pas vraiment consistante non plus.

Et à la fin, le commissaire trouve le (ou la ?) coupable.

Voilà longtemps que je n’avais pas de commissaire Maigret… un polar qui a pris des rides ( )

Some mystery novels are just different from all the others, and one of these is Georges Simenon's “Maigret’s Doubts,” published in 1958 and still a page-turner.

As the relatively brief novel begins, it may be the reader who has the doubts. Maigret, the Paris police inspector, is so distracted when a man named Xavier Marton enters his office that he only half pays attention. He doesn't even remember the man's name after he leaves his office while Maigret is called away. Still he remembers enough to be troubled later. Marton believes his wife plans to poison him.

But then Marton's wife enters his office with another version of the story. What neither spouse tells him, but which Maigret discovers through a little investigation, is that both parties are involved in affairs, she with her boss and he with his wife's sister, who is living with them. On a second visit, Marton tells him that if his wife does poison him, he plans to kill her with his gun before he dies.

The case troubles Maigret greatly because he fears something terrible is about to happen, but to whom? How can he make an arrest before there is a crime? His doubts are about what he can do to stop it. The murder, when it finally does happen, turns out to be a bit more complicated than one might expect.

Early in the novel Simenon refers to his detective's "professional apathy," which seems an apt descriptive phrase for the man, who asks few questions, displays few emotions and often seems not to care about his cases or much of anything else. Distracted by his own marital concerns in that first chapter, he really didn't care. But later he does, and his mind is always at work even when his behavior suggests otherwise. ( )

Really enjoyable Maigret novel. He is approached before the crime is committed which tests his powers of investigation. A model train-set salesman is a strange central figure. Suspects and victim live in a cauldron of unhappiness, despair and, in one case, indifference. The ending is and isn't predictable. ( )

This scarcely happens more than once or twice a year at the Quai des Orfèvres, and sometimes it is over so soon that no one has time to notice it: suddenly, after a period of feverish activity during which cases follow one after another without a breathing-space, when they are not cropping up three or four at a time, working the whole staff so hard that the inspectors, for want of sleep, end up haggard and red-eyed, suddenly there is a dead calm, a blank, one might say, barely punctuated by a few telephone calls of no importance.
It hardly happens more than once or twice a year at Quai des Orfèvres, and sometimes it is over so quickly that you haven't time to notice it: all of a sudden, after a frantic period in which there is a rapid succession of cases, arriving three or four at a time, putting all the staff on edge, so much so that the inspectors, for want of sleep, end up gaunt and red-eyed, all of a sudden there is a dead calm, a void, one might say, barely punctuated by some unimportant phone calls.
