The Pequod Review:

Maigret and the Bum (alternately titled Maigret and the Dosser) is one of the better-plotted Maigrets, as the French detective investigates a strange attack on a homeless man. Georges Simenon is in total control of his storytelling, and the book concludes in a satisfyingly ambiguous way. Recommended.
