Maigret & A Dançarina do Cabaré

The atmosphere of the Belgian locations added a layer of noir grit to the narrative. I'm curious how much the author drew from real places to create that immersive feel.

The detective's moral dilemmas felt very human but also unsettling. Did anyone else find themselves sympathizing with his struggles or questioning his decisions?

The dancer's background and her role in the story added depth, but I wonder what prompted the author to choose her point of view for this crime tale.
