panThe Late Monsieur Gallet (aka Maigret Stonewalled) (Inspector Maigret), by Georges Simenon (1931)
Premise: Inspector Maigret is called to Sancerre to investigate a murder, but the more he investigates the less everything makes sense.
Review: I find the Maigret novels really hit or miss, and sadly this was a miss for me. Cont
#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon
My #HyggeHour tonite is with Encyclopedia Brown for #EBBR & if I have some time, I‘ll read more in one of my other books. Drinking tea & having chocolate. 🍫
Mood is sleepy & not ready for another busy work week of meetings & 2 more Hilo trips. 🥱😵💫😴
pickAnother set of quick mysteries complete with resolutions at the end. It‘s fun to match wits with Encyclopedia Brown. I got about half of these easily, but there were a couple I only half-figured out, and three that stumped me. Definitely haven‘t aged well - the Indian trials were cringey and Charlie‘s teeth collection still makes me queasy. #ebbr

pick‘“Shakespeare was right…Lust often is “murderous, bloody,full of blame,/Savage,extreme,rude,cruel,not to trust.”‘
A bloody murder sends CI Banks, and his team down a rabbit hole in an effort to understand gaps in the victim‘s life story. Is the why of her murder rooted in her past? Literature,poetry, & music play an essential role: Shakespeare, Philip Larkin,Vivaldi,Mesiaen. A character even suggests that Banks is in competition with PD James‘⬇️
Checking in with my #EBBR pals! I was bested in three cases. I‘ll put in under a spoiler comment my issue with one particular.
Fun fact: we find that Encyclopedia lives in a state with a coastline! I‘m imagining Oregon.
I am enjoying the goofy humor, like:
“I‘ve seen a match box and a boardwalk, but I‘ve never had to solve a pillowcase,” said Encyclopedia thoughtfully. 😂
“He‘s like a set of false teeth, always trying to get even” 🤣

If you are in or around the Houston area, definitely go see Todd Waite's final Alley performance. He is and has always been amazing as Sherlock. I thoroughly enjoyed this show. ❤️
