Maigret in Kur
Summary
Sein gesündester Fall: Maigret hält strenge Diät - und löst den Fall ohne Bier und Wein. Eigentlich wollte Maigret lieber jung sterben, als sich an einen Diätplan zu halten, doch nun ist er auf Kur in Vichy, trinkt Heilwasser und spaziert Arm in Arm mit Madame Maigret durch den Kurgarten. Aus Langweile beobachtet er die Menschen ringsum: Boulespieler, Patienten und die Dame in Lila - eine exzentrische Frau, die ihn fasziniert. Dann wird sie in ihrer Wohnung aufgefunden - erwürgt. Und Maigret stößt sehr bald auf zahlreiche Ungereimtheiten in ihrem Leben. Maigrets 67. Fall spielt in Vichy.

Maigret's Childhood Friend
Summary
Florentin pulled one of those faces which had once amused his classmates so much and disarmed the teachers. Maigret didn't dare to ask why he had come to see him. He studied him, struggling to believe that so many years had passed. He was so used to acting the fool that his face automatically assumed comical expressions. But his face was still greyish, his eyes anxious. A visit from a long-lost schoolmate who has fallen on hard times forces Maigret to unpick a seedy tangle of love affairs in Montmartre, and to confront the tragedy of a wasted life. This novel has been published in a previous translation as Maigret's Boyhood Friend.

Maigret Enjoys Himself
Summary
Inspector Maigret is meant to be taking a holiday, but he can't resist following the development of his colleague Janvier's case in the papers - and playing a few tricks on the way. Standing at the window in the middle of the morning, vaguely observing the comings and goings in the street, he had a feeling that reminded him of certain days in his childhood, when his mother was still alive and he was off school because he had the flu or it was the end of term. It was the feeling of finding out what went on when he wasn't there.

Maigret and the Dead Girl
Summary
Maigret and his fellow inspector Lognon find themselves trying to outmanoeuver each other when they investigate the case of a mysterious young woman whose new life in Paris is tragically cut short. Maigret wouldn't have admitted that what intrigued him most was the victim's face. All he had seen of it so far was one profile. Was it the bruises that gave her that sullen air? She looked like a bad-tempered little girl. Her combed-back brown hair was very smooth but naturally wavy. The rain had diluted her makeup a little, and instead of making her older or uglier, it made her younger and more appealing.
