Le seul roman d'Arsène Lupin qui m'ait vraiment captivé jusqu'ici.

There was a lot of French myth and legend and geography in this one, which I am really not very familiar with. While I didn't mind, exactly, I think I would have enjoyed (and understood) what was going on a lot better if I'd had a more solid frame of reference. I also got the feeling that the story was complicated and full of twists...for the sake of being complicated and full of twists. I guess I was more interested in the characters, and while complications, misdirection, disguises and forgeries are Lupin's modus operandi, toward the end I really just wanted somebody to say in plain speech what the hell was going on. Perhaps that's my Lazy American showing.
I always enjoy Lupin's antics when we do finally get to see him as himself, not impersonating someone else. Talk about manic! But cheerful, nearly always cheerful.
Beautrelet - poor Beautrelet! Where Ganimard is obsessed and Shears is an egomaniac, Beautrelet is just some young bloke with a sharp mind who enjoys the puzzle and wants the truth. He is much harder for Lupin to manipulate, which makes him a better opponent.
