This book demonstrates how much mood and drama Simenon can create with a small cast of characters.There are plenty of cops, though! They smoke a lot and talk mostly about their pipes, which is amusing. They are not imaginative crime solvers. Maigret doesn't show up in Liège until halfway through the book, and why he's there at all is a bit of a mystery.I think the translation must be good because the tone of the prose perfectly captures the astonishment of Maigret at the foolishness of young men, and the folly of their elders who should know better. And the ambience of Europe in the jazz age is palpable.This is not my favorite Maigret mystery, but every adventure of the inspector is worth reading. Simenon's writing is always delicious, and the dialog is rich in subtle humor. I enjoyed Maigret's quirky views on human nature and his leaps of deduction. Also, Maigret shows himself to be rather good at fending off blows and teaching aggressors their manners. It's always fun to see how fast the bulky inspector can move. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Low key, most unusual, and slow to get going *by M***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 27, 2015* How unusual this Maigret mystery is! "The Dancer at the Gai Moulin" takes place not in Paris but rather in Liege, Belgium, birthplace of the author Georges Simenon. Further it trains a spotlight, both at the beginning and end of the novel, on the shiftless lives of two teenagers whose penchant for petty thieving and attraction to a seedy nightclub draw them into a murder investigation. Most other police procedurals featuring Jules Maigret of the Paris Police Judiciare instead focus more exclusively on a careful reconstruction of the victim's life, with the seeds of the fatal crime to be found in that past. Originally published in 1931, "The Dancer at the Gai Moulin" reflects the disruptions and disorientation that the Europeans suffered after the First World War. This may indeed be the jazz age-- explaining in part the temptations facing the two teenagers--but it is also a period of psychological alienation.Regarding the murder itself, a focus on solving it begins only in chapter four and the explicit introduction of Maigret into the local police mix awaits chapter 6. To be frank, by this time some readers, including Maigret aficionados, may well have lost interest. As the book nears its denouement, the rationale for this structure becomes clear. However, at the same time the complexity of the crime is tortured. Written early in Simenon's career as a novelist, "The Dancer at the Gai Moulin" reminded me in this regard of "The Late Monsieur Gallet" in that Simenon, who would later perfect his storytelling skills, had not yet fully found his footing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fascinating and Intelligent Book! *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 17, 2021* Interesting story, some Paris history included with well-drawn characters and a good plot. I am half-way through the book and still waiting for Commissaire Maigret! The book version is very different from the show if you are familiar with the original French murder mystery series starring Bruno Cremer. Simenon was a prolific writer, hope to read more books in this series. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/147649801-the-dancer-at-the-gai-moulin-inspector-maigret-book-10](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/147649801-the-dancer-at-the-gai-moulin-inspector-maigret-book-10) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
