Maigret Y El Hombre Del Banco

Maigret's calm and thoughtful demeanor really stood out to me. I wonder what inspired Simenon to give him such a contemplative personality rather than a more action-driven detective.

The city feels almost like a character itself, with small details that make the story feel so lived-in. I’m curious if the specific neighborhood influenced the story or if it was chosen for its atmosphere.

That character's presence felt so pivotal yet mysterious. I wonder if Simenon had a specific inspiration for this figure or if he simply wanted to create an everyday setting for a crime to unfold.
