Simenon Georges A Crime in Holland
'Just take a look,' Duclos said in an undertone, pointing to the scene all round them, the picture-book town, with everything in its place, like ornaments on the mantlepiece of a careful housewife . . . 'Everyone here earns his living. Everyone's more or less content. And above all, everyone keeps his instincts under control, because that's the rule here, and a necessity if people want to live in society.' When a French professor visiting the quiet, Dutch coastal town of Delfzjil is accused of murder, Maigret is sent to investigate. The community seem happy to blame an unknown outsider, but there are people much closer to home who seem to know much more than they're letting on: Beetje, the dissatisfied daughter of a local farmer, Amy van Elst, sister-in-law of the deceased and a notorious local crook.

The tip off concerns the woman's nephew, a mild-mannered man by the name of Gaston Meurant. Maigret remains unconvinced of the man's guilt and at his trial exposes some shocking truths about Meurant's private life that may prove his innocence.

Simenon Georges Maigret a peur
Tout a coup, entre deux petites gares dont il n'aurait pu dire le nom et dont il ne vit presque rien dans l'obscurite, sinon des lignes de pluie devant une grosse lampe et des silhouettes humaines qui poussaient des chariots, Maigret se demanda ce qu'il faisait la. Peut-etre s'etait-il assoupi un moment dans le compartiment surchauffe ? Il ne devait pas avoir perdu entierement conscience car il savait qu'il etait dans un train ; il en entendait le bruit monotone ; il aurait jure qu'il avait continue a voir, de loin en loin, dans l'etendue obscure des champs, les fenetres eclairees d'une ferme isolee. Tout cela, et l'odeur de suie qui se melangeait a celle de ses vetements mouilles, restait reel, et aussi un murmure regulier de voix dans un compartiment voisin, mais cela perdait en quelque sorte de son actualite, cela ne se situait plus tres bien dans l'espace, ni surtout dans le temps.
