- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The “Just Men” of the title are vigilantes who bring criminals to justice when the legal system isn’t able to. Think the A-Team or Leverage. Very little of the action takes place in Spain. The Just Men are on the trail of an Englishman, and most of the action takes place in England. There are lots of people in disguises, and characters with enough similarities that it was hard to keep them all straight as I listened to the audio version. And while I had no trouble identifying the really bad characters, I had a hard time sorting out many of the other characters into heroes, villains, and innocent bystanders. I probably would have been better off reading the print version, but then I would have missed out on Bill Homewood’s excellent narration. I don’t know that I’ll seek out any of the other books that feature the Just Men, but I don’t regret the time I spent with them in this book.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I have shelved this book as 'mystery' but it's not really a mystery so much as a crime story. This series about the 4 just men is about the 4 meting out justice to criminals who elude the official justice system (either from cleverness or wealth and power). The story is told more from the perspective of the criminal; today that is not so unusual but it was in 1917 when this book was first published.
Bill Homewood gives an excellent narration. In particular, his various accents were superb. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Painful. Oh, god, this was just so bad and boring. I actually put my audiobook player aside for a day and just enjoyed the silence around me because I *could not* bear picking this book back up. Its only saving grace was how short it was.
