Summary
Arsene Lupin has been simplistically cast as the French Sherlock Holmes. One of the stories included here even pits him against the thinly disguised character 'Herlock Sholmes.' However, Arsene is a far more complex character who often breaks the law and distaste authority. While the stories of Arthur Conan Doyle focus on the case's logical details, Maurice LeBlanc is more interested in personality and the absurd. The collected mysteries of Arsene Lupin are a delight.
