The Four Just Men by Edgar Wallace
4.0
Unread shelf project 2022: book 15.
This was a fun foray into a thriller written in the years preceding the Golden Age of Mystery. Although it was a little far-fetched, I loved the conspiracies, the characterizations, and the suspense. It wasn’t a mystery, per se, except for how they achieved the crimes, but it was a “rollicking good tale.” Especially if you read this and remember that it was written in 1905 — I think that’s pretty important to ensure the maximum overall enjoyment.
