Sinopsis

In "The Adventures of Ars√®ne Lupin," Maurice Leblanc introduces readers to the charming and cunning gentleman thief, Ars√®ne Lupin, who deftly navigates the criminal underbelly of early 20th-century France. This collection of short stories is characterized by its witty narrative style and clever twists, weaving elements of detective fiction with a playful subversion of the genre's conventions. Leblanc's writing not only captures the elegance and decadence of the Belle √âpoque but also aspires to explore themes of social class and morality, positioning Lupin as both a whimsical anti-hero and a cunning critique of bourgeois values. Maurice Leblanc, a French novelist born in 1864, was profoundly influenced by the literary environment of his time, including the rise of the detective story pioneered by Arthur Conan Doyle. His experiences as a journalist and writer informed his ability to craft suspenseful narratives that entertain while also commenting on contemporary society. Lupin'Äôs character, inspired by a longing for adventure and a fascination with crime and authority, reflects Leblanc's own critiques of the world around him. For readers who cherish stories that blend intrigue with humor, "The Adventures of Ars√®ne Lupin" is an essential addition to their literary repertoire. With its engaging plots and a charismatic protagonist, this book invites exploration into the art of deception and the allure of crime, making it a timeless classic in the genre of crime fiction.

    Peggy Ehrhart's eighth Knit and Nibble Mystery will appeal to fans of cozy mysteries, knitters, and other crafters. Perfect for fans of Betty Hecht, Sadie Hartwell, and Leslie Meier. 
     
     
     
    A member of a prominent New Jersey family has been found dead on St. Patrick's Day—and Pamela Paterson and her knitting club have a parade of suspects . . . 
     
     
      
    The Listers have been part of Arborville society for generations—though seventy-something Isobel Lister doesn't fit the role of upper-crust heiress. She's always been a colorful character, and her fun-loving spirit is on display at the senior center celebration as she performs some beloved Irish songs. But just minutes later, her body is found backstage. 
     
     
      
    It's hard to imagine who'd target a harmless old lady, and Pamela finds herself suspecting everyone. There's the Wiccan who thought St. Patrick wasn't so saintly; the woman upset about cultural appropriation who feels the commercialization of shamrocks is a sham; the two men Isobel was seeing, who could have been green with jealousy—and old friends and family who may have feared Isobel would spill their secrets. But Pamela's on the case, and that means for the killer, the jig will soon be up . . .

    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    In this volume our authors lead us through that most popular of genres – The Murder Mystery.  Tracking down the killer and the motive is examined by such masters as Robert Louis Stevenson, H G Wells, Susan Glaspell, Ryūnosuke Akutagawa and many others with twists of fate, deductions of ingenuity, and literary brilliance.
