The Confessions of Arsène Lupin
“This classic set of short stories highlights the notorious but dashing Arsène Lupin…Although Lupin is French, he is performed most admirably by the British narrator David Timson…Timson’s upper-crust and arrogant, ironic tone gives listeners clear insight into the debonair thief’s character. While times and societal values have changed since the 1913 original publication date, crime stories still intrigue many listeners, and these will not disappoint.”
