Adventures of Inspector Maigret in Maigret and the Hundred Gibbets

The Paris police investigate crime "by the book". Maigret is more of a "thinking detective". He uses his perception and phschological insight to solve the complex crimes that come his way. More often than not, he's more interested in the "why" of a crime than "who". Adventures of Inspector Maigret - Maigret is a brusque, pipe-smoking, Parisian Inspector, who works long hours at his office on the Quai des Orfèvres. He lives in an apartment on the Boulevard Richard-Lenoir where Madame Maigret always has one of his favourite home-cooked dishes waiting for him and a pot of hot coffee on the stove.Maigret is an unorthodox detective who relies on intuition more than factual evidence. He seeks to understand rather than judge the criminal, following a suspect not to find clues but to feel with the man. His approach to the investigation consist of long walks spent thinking about the crime, or hours in local cafés, smoking his pipe and drinking and immersing himself in the life of those he hunts. <
