Despite a couple police blunders it's a decent enough mystery. Homicide visits characters around a Montmartre Paris dance hall. The thing about this Maigret series is that all the supposed French characters speak with English accents, and there's no sense at all that the setting is France other than a few French signs here and there, and that lack of authenticity diminishes the series for me. Atkinson is decent in the lead, dry and understated as he is in the novels, but with just enough sensitivity to seem human.
