Reviews

[Sean Hyde · Rating 5 out of 5]

I got sucked into the Netflix adaptation like a lot of people and wanted to read some of the original stories. Very enjoyable, easy to read, and fun. If you are unfamiliar he is basically the French Sherlock Holmes mixed with a burglar. He actually goes head to head with Sherlock Holmes on several occasions in the stories. Plan to read more of them, but enjoyed this first trilogy as good introduction.

Arsene Lupin is France's greatest master criminal. In these books his character is developed as the gentleman burglar. He is smart intelligent and brilliant at disguises.

Easy to read.
