About this listen

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!

I was also led here by the Netflix series 'Lupin' and much enjoyed the intricate crimes and their revelation in this album. It is very much in the style of the Sherlock Holmes books and the two characters meeting is an additional plus. Some sections were a bit lengthy and detailed but that is due to the book itself. The narrator did a formidable job at portraying the various characters and accents. would recommend this to anyone who enjoys classic mystery stories and solving a case.

Excellent stories with fantastic narration. I found it provided comfortable reading with a touch of elegance, a large part of which is due to the narrators skill.

Maurice Leblanc brings the intriguing character of Arsene Lupin, a cross between Sherlock Holmes and Raffles. The reader is introduced to Arsene in a series of disconnected stories, mainly in the first person, to get to know this, Gentleman Burglar.
Set in France in the late eighteen hundreds we are treated in one tale, to the appearance of a certain detective visiting from London. The narrator, B.J. Harrison does a fine job of bringing the book to life.

It's the way you think about it

Loved the humour didn’t enjoy the appearance of Sherlock Holmes in the story. Only room for one hero and Arsene Lupin doesn’t need Sherlock!

Good narrator

Personally I think some stories left me wanting more. I think similar stories by Doyle or Christie are fleshed out more and the cleverness is more stated

Some clever plot lines

I didn’t watch the Netflix series, at least not yet, as I really like to ‘read’ stories first before watching how someone turns them into a cinematic experience. This story did not disappoint, it felt like a great rollercoaster ride the whole way through so I’m now looking forward to watching it. Very enjoyable

Very Much Enjoyed My Ride With Lupin
