Description

Maigret and the Reluctant Witnesses follows Maigret as he struggles to break through a victim's uncooperative family to uncover the truth behind a murder in book fifty-three of the series.

Maigret is called to the home of the Lachaume family, where the eldest brother has been found shot dead.
