Diese 20 Hörspiele aus vier Jahrzehnten (1953–1994) lassen Maigrets Welt neu lebendig werden: das nächtliche Paris, verrauchte Cafés, elegante Boulevards und düstere Hafenkneipen. Statt aus Action entfaltet sich Spannung aus Atmosphäre, feiner Psychologie und dem genauen Zuhören eines Ermittlers, der seine Fälle mit Geduld und Menschenkenntnis löst.

As such this sketch of the Father of his Country from a ...
