So I look forward to seeing what your thoughts are on him too and seeing which ones you've read so far. <br />I've linked to Bill's blog in the comments above - he actually got to go to Paris and walk in Maigret's footsteps!Bronahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11110584237325026052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-7229134533264545222018-07-04T11:30:08.619+10:002018-07-04T11:30:08.619+10:00I do like how a reading challenge, like this one, ...I do like how a reading challenge, like this one, makes me focus on certain things that I might just normally 'read over'.

I've not read this one but I have read about four or five of them and want to run the gauntlet (I'm not reading in order, either). I love how you did this with the google and wonderful descriptions and all. Maybe I won't do Maigret -- I don't think anything I could write could hold up to this -- you set a high bar!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-34468091210863555712018-07-03T23:30:10.675+10:002018-07-03T23:30:10.675+10:00I had no idea there are that many books with Maigr...I had no idea there are that many books with Maigret!
