Books like Le chien jaune by Georges Simenon


Jules Maigret is summoned to Concarneau, Brittany, after the fatal shooting of respectable citizen Monsieur Mostaguen as he leaves the Admiral Café. The victim was a member of a regular café‑meeting group, and the circumstances suggest a case of chance. The investigation quickly turns darker when another member is wounded, another is found poisoned, and strychnine is discovered in the drinks of several others. With a meek waitress, a violent vagrant, and a distinctive yellow dog complicating the scene, Maigret must dig into the past to uncover the motive and the true culprit.
