Reading The Sign of Four was a thrilling experience. Right from the start, Sherlock Holmes’ sharp deductions pulled me into the mystery. I loved how every small detail mattered and how Holmes always stayed one step ahead.

Watson, on the other hand, brought warmth to the story. His perspective made Holmes’ brilliance easier to follow, and his growing affection for Mary Morstan added an emotional layer that surprised me.

The mystery itself was gripping, with twists, exotic backstories, and a treasure at the center of it all. Some of the long explanations about the past felt a bit heavy, but they also gave the plot more depth.

Overall, I enjoyed the mix of suspense, character moments, and classic detective work. It’s a story that shows exactly why Sherlock Holmes has remained timeless.

Foggy streets, strange clues, and shifting motives pulled me in from the start, and even when the plot took some wild turns, I enjoyed every step of the chase.
