After a shooting outside a boarding house, Maigret moves in and watches the locals. Everyone seems desperately ordinary--so who is concealing a dangerous secret?

While staking out a boarding house on a quiet street, Maigret's colleague Janvier is shot by a mysterious assailant. Keen to gather evidence, Maigret takes the unusual step of moving into the house. It's surprisingly comfortable and the landlady is charm itself--but, the inspector wonders, is her relentless good cheer a ruse? And is something sinister afoot in the apartment opposite, where an invalid woman never leaves her room? Only by observing this small community's daily routines, seemingly so mundane, can Maigret divine the bizarre truth of who shot Janvier--and why. Composed with Georges Simenon's trademark economy and wit, Maigret Takes a Room is a hypnotic reminder that beneath ordinary surfaces, disturbing sins lurk.
