I wouldn't have stumbled across this but for the excellent Phoebe Reads a Mystery podcast. I'm really glad I did and will definitely be going back for more. Lupin is the most charming, polite thief you could ever hope to be robbed by!

I really enjoyed reading this short collection of stories about different adventures of the famous fictional French thief Arsene Lupin. They are witty and entertaining. My favorite story was "The Seven of Hearts," which tells the story of how Arsene Lupin and one of his best friends met. I would recommend the book to anyone who is a fun of mysteries and intrigue.

This was fairly amusing but I would've enjoyed it more if all the female characters hadn't been air-headed, weak, and constantly fainting ninnies. The sexism is strong here.
