It's a nice conclusion, but it felt a bit off- the plot felt like it was being dragged for no reason other than to make it have a big age count. The plot twists are as usual over the top and super unbelievable but they are never very realistic, to begin with.

3.5/3.75 out of 5.
Well, with a lot of caveats on the time period typical attitudes of supporting European colonialism, sexism with a "romance" with a predatory age gap, the style is enjoyably flashy and the mystery is generally enjoyable. The standard Lupin proficiency, arrogance, and showboating are on display solving a murder mystery related to the inheritance of the dead army doctor Cosmo Morington.

WAIT IT ACTUALLY HAS A GOOD ENDING?? Is it the ending of the series…? I didn’t expect this at all
This book wasn’t as impactful as other in the series - something just didn’t spark that much excitement in me. It wasn’t funny/witty like stories from his youth, neither it was symbolical/heart-wrenching like the books with higher stakes.
But the ending - God I’m so intrigued! Did Leblanc change the happy ending so he could continue Lupin’s adventures or did he just got back to writing about his youth? I’ll be a bit disappointed if this is how Lupin ends - the story didn’t engulf me to the point when I was connected with the last scene or the characters other than Arsène
