'Maigret' returns to find a diamond smuggler killed inside a stranger's car

MAIGRET on ITV. Rowan Atkinson returns as Jules Maigret in the 3rd installment called,“Night at the Crossroads.” The final TV ratings has the episode garnering 5.4 million TV viewers overall. It aired last April 16, 2017. It is based on the books written by Georges Simenon set in the country of France during the 1950's. The next “Maigret” mystery movie has yet to be announced.

A man sets out to make a final trade of his diamonds. Him and his wife decide that this would be their last illegal trade. They already planned their move to the United States. He is shot dead and his body is placed in a car inside a garage. That garage is on the home property of another man and his sister. He has a disfigured face and she is always locked up in her bedroom.

Maigret is called by inspector “Grandjean” about the murder. Both men used to work together years ago. Grandjean asks for some help just as the brother and sister make a run for the border. Maigret already has questions as he delicately looks at the murder case. He asks the right questions too. Why was the murdered victim placed in the driver's seat? Could the brother be set up for murder? Why does the sister not act like a sister?

You can sign up and watch ITV for repeat episodes. (An excellent mystery series).
