From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "Timeless classic."; "This is the most complete collection of the Four Just Men that I have found. Great stories. I really enjoyed reading them."; "I do like my vigilante tales. The scenarios are highly improbable but no less entertaining"; "Just Men ..my favorites. Fast, racy and love the characters as if they are beside you, such is the writing of Edgar Wallace."; "Light, fluffy action-writing based around the "locked room" type of murder story. Clues are dropped along the way which allow the reader to 'puzzle it out' along with the hapless detectives in charge of preventing 'these dastardly crimes'. The cleverness of the solution is quite fun in each case (but it sure does take a long time to get there)."; "Riveting. This is great stuff and suffers nothing from its period and time of publication. A brilliant concept and execution ... highly recommended."
