Suspicion
About This Novel
Maigret's stories always begin with suspicion, and "The Flemish" is no exception. The entire city of Givey, located on the French-Belgian border, is accusing the hateful Petters family of causing the night watchman's daughter to disappear. From then on, all narratives revolve around suspicion. In "Death by the Bell", the hero is suspected of killing the daughter of his wife's friend in the boarding house, and everyone suspects him. So much so that the suspect finally committed a crime. Suspicion destroyed him. In "The Hatter's Ghost", the young tailor Kachoudas discovers that the city's important person Léon Rabe is the murderer of the series of murders that made La Rochelle a storm. But he couldn't say anything because he was a foreign immigrant. If he said it, all suspicion would be pointed at himself. The atmosphere of suspicion hangs over the entire story and is suffocating.
