A large inheritance is up for grabs—and a murderer is on the loose—in the series that inspired the Netflix show Lupin.
 
When a wealthy man named Cosmo Mornington dies, he leaves an immense inheritance to any living heir that can be found, and names his dear friend Don Luis Perenna as executor. But Mornington’s heirs aren’t easy to locate. By provision of the will, if none turn up after three months, the full sum of one hundred million francs will go to Perenna himself . . . otherwise known as master thief Arsène Lupin.
 
While the French authorities have good reason not to trust Perenna, suspicion only escalates as Mornington’s distant family members reach a series of untimely ends. But in a deadly race against time, there’s no one better suited to catch a killer than the greatest thief in the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars teeth of the tiger

This is the first book I have read about Arsene Lupin, his escapades and adventures are fast moving and exciting with so many twists and turns that it will keep you on edge of your seat as he continues to solve the mysteries while just staying out of reach of the law and the lawbreakers, it is sometimes funny but always thrilling,so order and enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Don Luis Returns
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2016
Verified Purchase
Lupin is back, once again as Don Luis Perenna, but the dynamics of the series have clearly been established in the last three books. The gentleman thief is now more of a detective or problem solver and he always goes by the name Don Luis while occasional hints are dropped that he is in actuality Arsene Lupin. Later in the story it’s established quite clearly that they are one and the same. Don Luis is brought in to find the possible heirs to a fortune and then solve a murder and prevent several more and he’s surprisingly inept given his near omnipotence in previous books.

When Dos Luis inevitably figures out the identity of the murderer it’s actually a clever reveal. The problem is it’s ruined by the murderer’s world record stupidity. Before the murders, he set in motion a mechanism to point the finger at two innocents whom he despised. It’s all a meticulously laid out plan but THEN he pens a long letter detailing his crime and is careful to even sign his name to the confession. He even writes that the only thing that could stop him is finding the letter SO WHY THE HELL WOULD HE WRITE IT! He writes that it would tale some kind of genius to figure out his plan and find his letter, “It is for this man that I write, well knowing that he cannot exist” So why does Maurice Leblanc have him write this letter? Because in these old time stories a captured criminal is always quick to confess every detail of his crime however in this case the criminal could not do that so instead Leblanc has him create an inexplicable confession intended for no one. It really is some gold medal lazy writing.

This is one Lupin book that takes a lot of twists and turns. There are at least three are four characters that seem to be the obvious villains. In fact, the culprit I mentioned in the previous paragraph turns out to be just another pawn. It’s not until way late in the book that the true mastermind is revealed and I found it to be one of the better villains in the Lupin series. The book ends in a way where Maurice Leblanc is clearly bringing a close to his character. Arsene Lupin is finally dead and Luis Perenna retires and lives out the rest of his days. However, there are 14 more novels in the Lupin series so I can only assume that the other novels are out of chronological order.

This is, at present, the last Lupin book available free on kindle. I’ve now reviewed the first 10 and I’ll take a break and hope that either the rest are offered free on Kindle or *gasp* pay for them. Actually, a lot of them don’t appear to be available AT ALL on Kindle. I think the plot here is a bit overly convoluted but there are some neat ideas and this is one that could be made into an interesting television show or movie if the plot was a bit streamlined. Not my favorite Lupin book but definitely not my least.

There are many 'twist & turn' in the story. You cannot guess who is the real criminal until the very end.

1.0 out of 5 stars One star is too many-terrible book
Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2024

I don't think I've ever read a worse book. I cannot imagine what anybody can enjoy, or how it is possible that there are more books in the series. It was like a bad Batman episode (which at least they knew they were intentionally making campy and ridiculous). Unrealistic, fantastically contrived situations, attribution of super-human feats, reasoning, and luck. Unrealistic behavior of characters. Boring internal monologues. More. Oh, and dozens of typos/misprint (at least in the Kindle edition).
Note: I've never before reviewed a book at fewer than 3 stars. I'd rather be silent than say something negative. But this book was so bad and such an annoying waste of my time (I felt I had to finish it to fairly review it), that I broke my rule for this book.
If I insulted anybody who liked this book, I apologize.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bit of a mess and a bit of wow!

Full of confusing twists and turns and crazy improbabilities, I found this time piece adventure nevertheless a page turner. What weirdness was uber-human bad guy/good guy Lupin going to get up to next? And how many new characters were going to be introduced amid a ludicrous French officialdom to fill all the pages. Somehow Leblanc pulls it off.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lupin versus The Tiger
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2013

Arsene Lupin (as Don Luis Perenna) is out to solve a series of murders -- and prevent another -- in "The Teeth of the Tiger". This seems to be the conclusion of Lupin's adventures, and it's a clever tale, if a bit dark -- darker than is my preference for Lupin stories, but well-told, nonetheless. If you enjoy Lupin tales, or Raffles, or Sherlock Holmes, or The Saint, I wager you'll enjoy "The Teeth of the Tiger".
