Georges Simenon

Read by Maurice Denham

(4.6 stars; 29 reviews)

Adapted for radio by Edward Bruce, from the translation by Daphne Woodward, this episode features the famous detective Jules Maigret as he investigates a murder in the village of Saint-Andre-sur-mer. The villagers, a closed community, are quick to pin the crime on the local school-master, who is seen as an outsider.

As Maigret delves deeper into the case, he finds that even the schoolboys are reluctant to speak. This adaptation brings the intrigue of the original story to life.
