Description

French writer Maurice Leblanc was heavily influenced by Arthur Conan Doyle's creation Sherlock Holmes. After devising several characters inspired by Holmes, Leblanc hit his stride with Arsene Lupin, a criminal mastermind with a heart of gold. In this collection of short tales, readers follow Lupin through a number of his outrageous capers and heists.

Arsène Lupin dans ce qui lui réussit le mieux : les nouvelles. Quinze pages lui suffisent pour rouler toute la police française (et les journaux) dans la farine ou pour résoudre une énigme effrayante en protégeant de belles jeunes filles.
Too short! My husband and I really enjoyed listening to this together. The short stories provide nice stopping places if you have things to do. The stories are very compelling. Great puzzles. Good narrator. We will look for more of these!
Good book, it you entertain you with it's stories but not so much to make you addicted, kinda nice to have laying on the shelf so you can pick one story and read it as if you were in a waiting room.
not a fan of the narrator and several of my least favorite Lupin stories
Leblanc sait mélanger aventure et mystère; un petit meurtre de temps en temps mais toujours dans le plus meilleur goût; voilà un genre tout à fait unique
Allô... le service de la Sûreté ? ... M. l'inspecteur principal Ganimard est-il ici ? ... Pas avant vingt minutes ? Dommage !... Enfin !... quand il sera là, vous lui direz ceci de la part de Mme Dugrival... Oui, Mme Nicolas Dugrival.. ? Vous lui direz qu'il vienne chez moi. Il ouvrit la porte de mon armoire à glace, et, cette porte ouverte, il constatera que l'armoire cache une issue qui fait communiquer ma chambre avec deux pièces. Dans l'une d'elles, il y a un homme solidement ligoté. C'est le voleur, l'assassin de Dugrival. Vous ne me croyez pas ? Avertissez M. Ganimard. Il me croira, lui. Ah! j'oubliais le nom de l'individu... Arsène Lupin !
