  • Why has a respectable middle-class man taken to murdering women in the suburbs? Maigret finds this question more of a problem than catching the killer.

    Middle-class "respectability" comes under the microscope of Maigret's investigation in this trenchant episode. The difficulty for the Inspector lies less in identifying or catching the serial killer who's been preying on working-class women than in analysing the circumstances which have made this rather ordinary-seeming bourgeois into a monster. The anxiety of the man's wife and mother to retain their status in the eyes of their social peers is gradually made to seem monstrous - it's these two who have made him hate women. The same story was filmed (at twice the length) in France just three years earlier, with Jean Gabin as Maigret.moreless
