Arsene Lupin, the brilliant detective created by French writer Maurice Leblanc, was often described by critics and fans as "the French Sherlock Holmes." This cheeky volume of detective stories pokes fun at that comparison by pitting Lupin's wits against the formidable talents of one "Herlock Sholmes," a master investigator who bears a striking resemblance to a certain character created by Arthur Conan Doyle.

Herlock Sholmes and his sidekick Wilson were hilarious! ( )

audiosync free title 2023, classic mystery (7hrs) - several unsolvable mysteries and an uncatchable criminal mastermind (with an unidentified "blonde lady" accomplice)... fortunately Mr. Herlock Sholmes (and his assistant Mr. Wilson) is available to take the case, I guess. No significant female or minority characters. ( )

FROM SYNC: David Timson masterfully narrates this entertaining mystery in which two formidable opponents match wits. Famed English detective Herlock Sholmes is initially called to Paris to investigate the disappearance of a blue diamond. The prime suspect is Arsène Lupin, the legendary gentleman thief and master of disguise, who was introduced in 1905 by French author Maurice Leblanc. Timson keeps the tension high as Lupin eludes and tricks Sholmes and his trusted assistant, Wilson, even causing them to become trapped overnight in an empty house. Timson expertly creates each character, including an array of male and female secondary personalities. He imbues Lupin with a bold, canny demeanor and expresses notes of exasperation amid Sholmes's determined persona. Listeners will stay glued to their headphones throughout the twisty fun.

Um confronto clássico entre estes dois personagens. Apesar de Sir Conan Doyle não ter autorizado que o o famoso personagem criado por ele, Sherlock Holmes fosse utilizado, é o personagem que confronta Lupin disfarçado de Herlock Sholmes. Intriga interessante, mas a escrita não é muito fluida e por vezes é difícil de acompanhar. Alguns acontecimentos são um pouco forçados mas de forma geral é uma leitura interessante. ( )

Book description
LeBlanc's creation, gentleman thief Arsène Lupin, is everything you would expect from a French aristocrat -- witty, charming, brilliant, sly ... and possibly the greatest thief in the world. In this classic tale, Lupin comes up against the only man who may be able to stop him ... no less than the great British gentleman-detective Herlock Sholmes! Who will emerge triumphant? (ManyBooks.net)
Arsène Lupin contre Herlock Sholmès est un recueil de deux histoires écrites par Maurice Leblanc, sur les aventures opposant Arsène Lupin et Herlock Sholmès. Il fait suite à Arsène Lupin, gentleman-cambrioleur, notamment à l'antépénultième nouvelle, Herlock Sholmes arrive trop tard

Dans La Lampe juive, le baron d'Imblevalle, à qui on a volé une lampe contenant un bijou précieux, fait appel à Herlock Sholmès pour la retrouver. Lupin envoie une lettre au détective, le priant de ne pas intervenir. Sholmès n'en tient aucun compte et se rend à Paris avec Wilson. Il réussit finalement à retrouver la lampe juive mais découvre que son enquête a eu le résultat inverse de celui escompté. Elle a en effet perturbé les plans de Lupin qui voulait en réalité aider la famille du baron.
