Would give 2.5 stars if I could. This was written at the time when Leblanc got tired of Lupin stories and tried to write something else. Those stories just didn’t capture the charm Lupin did.

Un bon roman d’aventures, dans l’univers de Lupin (enfin de la Cagliostro). Dorothée est un Lupin féminin (le genre de personnages qui manque d’habitude chez Leblanc). C’est surréaliste mais ça fonctionne bien. Du pur divertissement comme l’auteur sait en offrir.

Dnf. I didn’t persist with this for long as I had trouble following the story. I’m not sure if this was due to the quality of the LibriVox narration or the text itself.
