* SettingUpdate: The book series stretched from [[TheThirties 1930s]] to the early [[TheSeventies 1970s]], and Simenon made sure fashion and technology evolved accordingly. The preferred setting in most adaptations meanwhile is clearly the [[TheFifties 1950s]]. Particularly prominent in the Bruno Cremer and Rowan Atkinson series, which change the setting of early Maigret stories from the 1930s to the 1950s.

* SerialKillerBaiting: In "Maigret Sets A Trap" a serial killer is menacing Paris. Maigret announces that he already caught the culprit and lets several female officers pose as bait to lure the killer out. The whole operation is considered highly risky and born out of desperation. After an officer survives an encounter with the killer, the killer leaves behind key evidence that leads Maigret to him. The story has been adapted to screen multiple times, including as the first episode of ''Series/{{Maigret|2016}}''.

The unflappable ''bourgeois'' sleuth starred in 81 novels, 28 novellas and a number of short stories from 1931 to 1972, calmly smoking his pipe and using his knowledge of psychology and patient routine investigation to understand the motives of the people he investigated to solve his cases. As being part of the police implies, he's not a PrivateDetective, but his methods and the success of the book series and adaptations easily rival the genre's biggest names.
