Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Sherlock Holmes -The Sign of Four Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

THE SIGN OF FOUR was Sherlock Holmes' second adventure for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Dr. Watson again assists Holmes, as they try to recover a beautiful blonde's missing treasure - and solve a murder or two along the way. Again Holmes' genius is showcased, but we see here the human side - of Dr. Watson at least. The good doctor is falling for the damsel they are trying to help, despite his common sense telling him how bad an idea that is! There's a great chase scene, which makes up for the lethargy-producing confession story of the culprit! All in all, Watson is the real Hero of this tale - even if Holmes does do all the leg and brain work! One of the best of the Sherlock Holmes tales. You'll be kept wanting to know the why's and wherefor's until the very end!
