A review by one4ale
Arsène Lupin, Gentleman-Thief by Maurice Leblanc

5.0

Stories so good you almost wish Paris was real. Originally published in a 1905 French science magazine called "Je sais tout" (I Know All), my favorite ones are the first three (his arrest, his time in jail, his escape), his origin (The Queen's Necklace), and his first heist (Madame Imbert's Safe). They're all pretty short and fun, perfect for a quick read. I only read good books and if I talk about it I'll just give away the plots, so I'll just say that he's an engaging and charming character and I even gave it a 5/5 so just read it. It's like if you were reading a Holmes novel but Holmes was a criminal and also more interesting and also his author didn't want to kill himself.
