But Philippe Jave had secretly come to Paris that day, and in fact he had a girlfriend, Antoinette Chauvet, the young daughter of one of his maids, Josépha Chauvet. When a sensational murder takes place in Paris, Maigret is on holiday and must follow the investigation like any member of the public.

The title is a case in point: "Maigret's Little Joke" is not a very felicitous rendering of Maigret S'Amuse. Dr Pardon has convinced M he needs a vacation, but when their plans go awry M decided to spend his two weeks off in Paris, enjoying himself with Mme M and totally avoiding the Quai des Orfèvres, where he had left Les Sables-d'Olonne as his forwarding address.

Though the dead wife appears conservative and reserved, we learn she has a serious illness that could cause her to die at any time so has decided to live it up with (quiet, secret) affairs and wild living. When Maigret's holiday plans go awry he and his wife spend their vacation in Paris, on the condition that he has nothing to do with work. He ensures he visits the right cafes and bars so he can pick up news - and Mme Maigret is alert to this. full-cast dramatisation starring Maurice Denham as Inspector Maigret and Michael Gough as his creator Georges Simenon Georges Simenon and his masterful inspector, Jules Maigret, look back together over one of their favourite cases in this full-cast dramatisation that has been specially adapted for radio from the original novel.
