This is the most fun I've had with a book in some time! The heists of master thief Arsène Lupin, published in 1907, are fresh, funny, and ingenious, from the main plots to the little details - like the break-in to a baron's home where nothing is taken, but a card is left, reading "Will return when the furniture is genuine". Read by me on the recommendation of my 10yo daughter! #MauriceLeblanc #Bookstodon @bookstodon
@RanaldClouston @bookstodon I just finished the third book in the series, The Hollow Needle, which is a madcap battle of wits between Lupin and teenage detective genius Isidore Beautrelet with true love and the secret fortune of the kings of France in the balance.
@allyngibson @bookstodon sounds great! I'll get to the rest of his stories soon.
