Maigret's confession

A dubious conviction: Did Maigret make a mistake? The co-owner of the pharmaceutical company Josset & Virieu has turned himself in to the police – Adrien Josset is suspected of having murdered his wife. The reason? Josset has a young mistress and has promised her father that he will marry her. However, during the interrogation at Quai des Orfèvres, he vehemently asserts his innocence. Maigret is tempted to believe Josset, especially since it seems that some things are being swept under the rug during the investigating judge's inquiries. For the tabloid press, however, the pharmacist's guilt is already a foregone conclusion – a juicy story. And Maigret seems to have his hands tied. Maigret's 54th case takes place in Fontenay-le-Comte and Paris. Unabridged reading with Walter Kreye, 4 CDs, approximately 4 hours and 40 minutes.
