About This Audiobook

In 'Il cane giallo', Georges Simenon's master detective, Maigret, is called to Concarneau to unravel the mystery behind a wine merchant's shooting. What starts as a seemingly straightforward case quickly spirals into a web of deceit and murder. This audiobook is a quintessential Simenon experience, offering a gripping, atmospheric mystery that's as much about the people and their secrets as it is about the crime. Giuseppe Battiston's narration is a standout feature, capturing Maigret's gruff, world-weary demeanor with aplomb. His pacing is impeccable, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Giuseppe Battiston's narration is the star of the show here. His deep, resonant voice is perfectly suited to Maigret, imbuing the character with a sense of gravitas and weariness that's utterly convincing. He also does a fantastic job with the supporting cast, giving each character a distinct voice and personality. The story itself is a classic Simenon mystery, with a complex web of suspects and motivations that kept me guessing until the end. However, I did find the pacing to be a bit uneven at times, with some sections feeling a bit too slow. Overall, though, this is a fantastic addition to the Maigret series and a must-listen for fans of classic detective fiction.
