My TBL is at 15 titles, probably the lowest it's been for a couple of years!

Maigret's Memoirs by Georges Simenon read by Gareth Armstrong.  Different from the usual stories, with Maigret himself providing some of his own history and explaining how he is different from he character described by M. Simenon.  Learning a bit about Maigret's background and how he met Madame Maigret was interesting.

Death and Fromage by Ian Moore read by Ian Moore.  I read the first book in the series at the beginning of the year, and had planned to read more at some point, so when the second in the series was on offer i bought it.  There are the same range of odd characters and a bizarre plot and, knowing what to expect, I found it entertaining.

A Pelican at Blandings by PG Wodehouse read by Nigel Lambert.  The Earl of Emsworth is having difficulties and he calls on his brother, Galahad, to come and help.  The usual plots and counter plots ensue, and the Empress has a part.  The usual Wodehouse fare.

Maigret and the Man on the Bench by Georges Simenon read by Gareth Armstrong.  A traditional Maigret story, as Maigret seeks to identify a dead man and construct his past and his recent history before working out who murdered him.  I'm still enjoying these stories.

Rumpole's Last Case by John Mortimer read by Bill Wallis.  Various short stories with Rumpole managing to prove what really happened and sometimes get his client off the charge.
