Arsène Lupin, Gentleman-Thief by Maurice Leblanc
4.0
This is an excellent way to understand what the new TV show LUPIN is based on.
Lupin is self-satisfied but almost deserves to be. He is truly a master planner. My favourite part was when he sends a note saying "send these three pictures and save us all some time; otherwise I will steal them all next Friday at 3 p.m."
He's basically a noble fellow, but you wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of him.
Most of all, he openly ENJOYS being the smartest guy in the room, and plays with his opponents in a way more like Moriarty than Holmes.
Highly recommended, and an easy read because it's a selection of somewhat-linked short stories.
