My first written Lupin, although I had enjoyed the recent TV series.
This was thus rather a let-down. It's very dated. The plot leaps are implausibly ridiculous, the smell of melodrama is overwhelming and all characters are thinly disposable. I don't think it's a poor translation, but the writing is also hyperbolic to the point of being ludicrous.
I doubt I'll bother with another.

Sin duda, 813 es la novela en la que Arsenio Lupin alcanza una complejidad y riqueza que lo convierten en personaje literario de primera magnitud, desbordando los moldes que hasta su aparición habían tenido los grandes protagonistas del género. En esta nueva entrega de la serie, Lupin es falsamente acusado de los que parece un asesinato perfecto, que en cualquier caso va más allá de la capacidad de la policía, y el únco modo que tendrá de demostrar su inocencia será poniéndose él mismo al frente de la investigación. Cómo lo conseguirá y cuáles son los objetivos finales de Lupin.... No por casualidad, la primera asociación europea de aficionados a la literatura policíaca lleva por nombre 813, un homenaje a la que es show more considerada por muchos como la mejor novela de Maurice Leblanc. show less
