The Sign of Four
by Arthur Conan Doyle
“You have done all the work in this business. I get a wife out of it, Jones gets the credit, pray what remains for you?"
"For me," said Sherlock Holmes, "there still remains the cocaine-bottle."
Oh Sherlock, you bipolar little addict. This one is not was not as enjoyable as the first. It was only 100 pages, which I am usually able to get through in a couple of hours. If I’m interested. This one took me a day and a half to finish, I was obviously not as keen to gobble it up.
I figured out most of the mystery fairly easily, which for me is a let down. It’s not exciting if I can get it way before Sherlock Holmes does. That isn’t to say I don’t appreciate the way Doyle let’s us know that Sherlock is able to have setbacks, but some of this stuff was as some would say “Elementary, My Dear Watson.”
Overall I enjoyed the personal interactions between John, Mary and Sherlock the most in this story. The actual mystery didn’t do much for me. A shame, but they can’t all be winners.
