Under-Read Masterpiece of Detective Fiction
Ryan Strong
Really tremendous book and the reader did a phenomenal job--there were a few dodgy French pronunciations here and there but the overall result is probably the best I've heard in Librivox.
brilliant Cate Barrat performance
Mark Matson
Each chapter is a standalone adventure of mystical thief Arsene Lupin, read by Cate Barrat. The stories are clever and well written, brought to life by our reader.
Charming voice, slightly rushed ending
Maria
The narrator’s voice is warm, expressive, and perfect for the atmosphere of Arsene Lupin. It drew me in immediately. The only small downside is that the narration becomes a bit fast toward the end, but it didn’t ruin the experience. A very enjoyable listen.
Entertaining and well-read

Lupin is both a rescuer and a thief and very clever. He seems to thrive on challenges and can even be kind-hearted. Who knows what his next adventure will be! There's a bit of humor here and there, too.
My favorite Arsene book
Dr. Dijkstra
Dramatic twrists and turns where Arsene is one step ahead, no two, actually at least 3. So well read and such entertaining short stories. Each could be a book.

Akin to Robin Hood, the Scarlet Pimpernel, and other gentleman thieves, I greatly enjoyed spending time with Arsene Lupin! Excellent reader, clever tales.

More fun Lupin stories. Shorter. They flesh out some missing sections of his life.
I enjoy the stories

Nice to have a good reading experience with a little mystery and a nice change with the good and socially classified evil in his thievery. Nothing was pat predictible! what fun!
