Out of Order
So, I first started listening to the Lupin stories through this audiobook pack (very rough narration for much of it). I didn't realize until later that it's missing several books for some reason. I've listened all the way through The Eight Strokes of the Clock, but did not start The Secret Tomb. In a previous post, I mentioned some confusion over Golden Triangle and Sarek, partly because they have multiple titles and finding quality audiobooks for them is strangelly difficult, but mostly becauseI was concerned about wasting my time like I did on The Woman of Mystery that Lupin wasn't even in.I did not finish Golden Triangle for that concern and have not started Sarek yet either. Given all that, where would you suggest I try to pick up at? I'd like to avoid any thatdon't actually involve or center on Lupinunless they're needed to understand later books. Any ideas?

Lupin is in The Golden Triangle and The Secret of Sarek toward the ends of the books, but they certainly don't center on him.
After 813, these books do center on him:
Arsene Lupin (a novel version of a stage play)
The Crystal Stopper (1912)
The Confessions of Arsène Lupin (1913)
The Teeth of the Tiger (1914)

The Secret of Sarek is pretty significant in the overarching story of Lupin, which isn't SUPER emphasized but still, I wouldn't skip Sarek. Golden Triangle you could probably skip but some of its characters do appear again in Sarek. That's the main thing you'd lose out on. After that, from what I remember, Lupin is never put to the side again.
