This book takes us through some of the adventures of Arsène Lupin, a french gentleman and a burglar — from his arrest and prison escape, to his encounter with the notorious Sherlock Holmes.
Smart, charming and very egocentric, Lupin is a character that hasn’t aged well. But if you remove the sexist remarks and the gloating of his own intellect, the book is quite entertaining.
Just like it happens with Agatha Christie’s novels, many of the plots have now been overused in pop culture and you might see them coming. But if you have seen Lupin on Netflix (I recommend it!), you get a glimpse of the stories that inspired the show and see how they took the best of the character to be a core influence for the main protagonist.

I’m glad I watched the Netflix series before reading the book as the that was much better. The short stories just didn’t delve too far into anything. Highly recommend the Netflix series
