Welcome to Litsy!

It's National Read A Book Day!! 📚 I wrapped up this book just in time to review it for today's holiday. I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The stories are pretty easy to follow and you are not kept in the dark about much so it's nice to be able to follow along with the action which is pretty fast paced. If you're looking for a who-done-it then you'll need to turn elsewhere.
I plan to read more of Lupin now that I've started! On to Miss Marple! #mystery #classy

Finished during the #JubilantJuly #readathon & read for #DiverseCozy

This was a quick read with amusing short stories about a very smart & tricksy thief & con man in Paris in the early 1900s. I knew nothing about it going in, including that there‘s a Netflix series Lupin, based on the character. Enjoyable for mystery fans-there‘s even a story where he crosses paths with the great “Herlock Sholmes.” (I read the Kindle Unlimited edition pictured)

Funny how my to read list at the moment is alternating very recent series (the Gameshouse) and old ones (starting on Lupin as I never really read it, and re-reading le comte de Monte cristo).

I bought this book through Book Depository after watching LUPIN on Netflix. I enjoyed the series very much, and since it revolves a lot around this book, I decided to get it – and I loved it!

It is the first collection of stories containing 8 short stories of the adventure of Arsene Lupin, known as the gentleman thief and master of disguise, with the appearance of Sherlock Holmes himself in the last story. 🥸🕵‍♂️

I decided to try this because I got totally hooked on Lupin on Netflix. The book is like Sherlock Holmes. Except he's a gentleman thief. I like the Netflix series far more than this book that inspired it.

Settling down to watch Lupin - I didn‘t know Assane Lupin was considered the French Sherlock Holmes

Lupin is a criminal who often moonlights as a detective. A little zany and predictable for my taste but definitely a good pick if you want light, summer reading. Also, Sherlock Holmes makes an appearance in the final story, which makes for an interesting comparison between French and English values and perceptions.

Added three volumes to #serialreader filled with the adventures of Arsène Lupin, the beloved French gentleman burglar and master of disguise. Follow along as he swipes treasures, evades the law, and even tangled with a certain English detective (whose name was oh so cleverly changed to Herlock Sholmes to avoid copyright issues)
