In this 1931 mystery, re-translated in 2014 for the Penguin series, Inspector Maigret himself becomes confused by the comings and goings of barges and boats through locks and canals, so the reader can be excused for thinking that La Providence is a bit muddled. It provides a peek into the people who transport cargo along the rivers of France, and a warning about dangers of the high life.
