The Eight Strokes of the Clock
So Renine asks Hortense to assist him in eight adventures, ranging from a stolen piece of jewelry to an insane murderer that almost kills Hortense. Renine cleverly solves all of the mysteries, though he often resorts to less lawful methods such as using false evidence to get Prince Renine AKA Arsene Lupin is an amateur detective who teams up with a lady named Hortense Daniel.
Renine cleverly solves all of the mysteries, though he often resorts to less lawful methods such as using false evidence to get a confession from a criminal. A very enjoyable book with a happy ending for both the adventurers. Mar 16, Dave Holcomb rated it really liked it.
A reformed criminal, now masquerading as a millionaire prince, has taken up a new life as a sort of fixer, solving crimes instead of committing them. In the first of the eight adventures here he meets a young woman who is desperate to change her life: She agrees, although with some reservations, and Hortense and the Prince work their way through seven more cases together. Fast moving, intelligent, and -- for What fun! Fast moving, intelligent, and -- for crime fiction -- oddly non-judgemental.
This was a fun one. Under the name Lupin or not, I still liked the character and I loved the whole adventure plot. It almost reminded me of Doctor Who. And it took me 14 books to realize that Leblanc is the narrator in the whole series.
The Lady with the Hatchet (Arsène Lupin - The Eight Strokes of the Clock 6)
The mysteries are not as complex as in other novels, but the book is, as always, quite an agreeable read. Language love This book was written when the love of language was important. Almost a romance of words. A group of short stories or adventures, some what old fashion but enjoyable. I read this in one go and enjoyed it. Of course, there was a "just-so" element, with feats that were a little too amazing, but I expected that. I thought it would be more of a typical Lupin book, so that surprised me.

Jan 22, Pamela rated it liked it. This was my first Lupin, and I really enjoyed it. The setup was silly, but the mysteries were good enough. We aren't talking Sherlock Holmes, but they were better than most of this time period. Oct 10, Hayat Elhouari rated it really liked it.

A great book, I really enjoyed it! The way this story was structured, with discrete sub-plots, made it difficult for me to get into.
