Audio Book Summary

A contemporary of Arthur Conan Doyle, Maurice Leblanc (1864-1941) was the creator of the character of gentleman thief Arsène Lupin who, in France, has enjoyed a popularity as long-lasting and considerable as Sherlock Holmes in the English-speaking world. This is the delightful first of twenty volumes in the Arsène Lupin series written by Leblanc himself.

In an unprecedented act of literary pastiche and cross-over, Sherlock Holmes and Lupin actually meet, briefly in this first volume, and more substantially in the next. But after legal objections from Conan Doyle, the name was changed to "Herlock Sholmes." (adapted from Wikipedia by a.r.dobbs)

    Most were great readers. There was one that was hard to hear. I prefer to listen to stories by one reader

    Captivating stories but narration was sometimes low in volume.

    Loved reading about this French gentleman burglar/mystery solver. Fun to read the story between Lupin and Holmes. One of the readers had distracting French pronunciation - almost skipped the chapter, but the story was worth the time. Enjoyed the other narrators.
