3.5

The first in a series of historical fiction mysteries about a gentleman thief in 19th century France. When a rich gentleman receives a note from the famous thief, Arsene Lupin, telling him his priceless paintings and jewelry are about to be stolen, he turns to the police and his daughter's fiancée for help. But can anyone stop the great Arsene Lupin? A charming, if dated, tale of crime, love, with a sprinkling of irony and humor throughout.
