The evil eye at work?, Jun 28 2009
By Patto - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Sailor's Rendezvous (Mass Market Paperback)
Was the cod fishing trawler Océan under the influence of the evil eye, as the Breton sailors believed?
Nothing went right on the voyage to Newfoundland. The captain showed signs of mental unbalance. A cabin boy went overboard and was lost. The fishing was bad. And finally, at the end of the trip, the captain was strangled!
The young radio operator, Pierre Le Clinche, is accused of the crime, and Maigret is looking into the matter at the request of Pierre's former teacher.
It looks as though there's a woman in the case.
With a few subtle allusions Simenon perfectly captures the kind of violent, out-of-control passion some men feel for a certain type of woman. And how masterfully he contrasts the reek of cod entrails with perfumed female flesh!
Maigret soaks up the angry, unsavory atmosphere surrounding the crime, as he gets to the heart of the matter.
Listmania!
