I haven't read many of these.
Of the 75 Maigret novels there are very few that aren't thoroughly entertaining, and this one is no exception. For detective series quantity + quality, Simenon is the world champion.
The High Window is not as good as the first two of Chandler's much shorter detective series, but it's a strong entry and gets my vote here.
