Maigret and the Minister

Inspector Jules Maigret differs from his English counterparts of the 1930s and 40s in that he is a respectable, bourgeois member of the police force – archetypally “French”. In this reissued collection of dramatized short stories, adapted for BBC Radio 4, Maigret and Simenon look back over four of their greatest cases.
