Maigret 🆕 Real

Georges Simenon, a Belgian writer, introduced Maigret in his 1931 novel, The Strange Case of Madelon Roux . However, it was not until The Yellow Dog (1936) that Maigret truly came into his own. Simenon's inspiration for Maigret was drawn from his own life experiences and observations of the police force. He aimed to create a detective who was not a brilliant, analytical mind, but rather an intuitive, empathetic, and somewhat introspective individual.
