Publisher's Summary

Fine-art aficionado. Master of disguise. Jewelry expert. Historian. Gentleman. Burglar. Arsene Lupin is all of these and more. In 1905, Maurice Leblanc introduced his gentleman burglar in the story "L'Arrestation d'Arsène Lupin". Shortly thereafter, the stories were collected as one single volume. In these charming adventures, Lupin orchestrates a myriad of extravagant heists in the very face of the determined Inspector Ganimard. With his sparkling wit, his sharp eye for detail, and his incredible gift of anticipation, Lupin carries off the most amazing thefts and never leaves a clue behind. And yet he is ever the embodiment of gentlemanly manners and old-school chivalry. Take these first adventures for a whirl, and witness how he measures up when he goes toe to toe with the redoubtable Sherlock Holmes himself!

Absolutely brilliant

the book was really good and so was the narration. I thoroughly enjoyed it. the voices were unique with done repetitions but that is great coming from one narrator.

A fun listen!

I'm not a particular fan of short story collections of detective fiction, but this collection beat me. I'm now a fan of Gentleman Thief Arsene Lupin.

Impeccable narration and the story

The narration made this book so interesting to listen to, it felt like you are audience to a real scene. Worth a read for all detective story aficionados.

Not for me

I just did not find the stories interesting enough in this collection. The performance is syperb with the comical accent. I just did not find this title comedic or extraordinars capers as believable.

There was the '
"origins"story that I liked. Leaving this unfinished.
