The new Maigret (2025) series brings Georges Simenon’s iconic detective back to the screen in a sleek, modern form. The pilot, “The Lazy Burglar,” isn’t just about solving crimes it’s sets the tone, texture, and atmosphere of the show. Sure, the “Paris-but-in-English” setup feels weird at first, but it works.

Murder in a Small Town returns for Season 2, with Karl Alberg (Rossif Sutherland) facing new challenges as his jurisdiction expands and his relationship with Cassandra (Kristin Kreuk) faces unexpected difficulties.

Greg Cope White’s The Pink Marine is one of those books that sneaks up on you, it’s sharp, funny, and unexpectedly heartfelt. I started it for the laughs and stayed for the courage.
