Maigret in Holland (French: Un Crime en Hollande) is a 1931 detective novel by the Belgian writer Georges Simenon featuring his character Jules Maigret. Maigret travels to the small, respectable town of Delfzijl in the Netherlands to investigate the murder of a teacher.[1][2] An English-language translation was published in 1940. Simenon chose Delfzijl because he had written the first Maigret story, The Strange Case of Peter the Lett (1931) there in the late 1920s.
