Summary
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!

An engaging story
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.

Simply Brilliant
The reader describes the story in an excellent manner with the right voice and tone that describes each character really well in the story.
Especially the main character Arsene Lupin, shows charming wit and all, great voice actor to portray
Story direction was clear too so really good purchase :)

Bizarre narration
This production would have benefitted from having a producer. My listening experience was really spoilt by the seemingly random accents used by the narrator. All characters in the first two episodes had heavy 'French' accents but in later episodes some characters were assigned accents whilst others were not. Also some of the changes in Arsene Lupin 's accent were not supported by the narrative and, hence, confusing. I'll admit to now being rather wary of listening to anything else anything narrated by Mr Harrison.

It's the way you think about it
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.

Good narrator
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!

Some clever plot lines
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

Very Much Enjoyed My Ride With Lupin
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
