The Eight Strokes of the Clock by Maurice Leblanc (best non fiction books to read TXT) ๐
Description
Trying to escape from her boring life, Hortense Daniel meets the mysterious Prince Rรฉnine (or should we say Arsรจne Lupin?) who enlists her help to solve eight mysteries, starting with one that is for her very close to home. The pairโs travels take them across northern France as they help ease the path of true love, bring thieves and murderers to justice, and eventually to recover something very dear to Hortenseโs heart.
The Eight Strokes of the Clock is an Arsรจne Lupin novel by any other name, with Maurice Leblanc admitting as much in an opening note. Set in the early days of the characterโs history, this collection of mysteries has the hallmarks of classic Lupin: a fervent desire to impress, dazzling jumps of logic and an ambivalent belief that the law can provide justice. This English translation was published in 1922 in the same year it was being serialized in France; it was published in novel form there a year later.
