A review by samtherat17
The Sign of Four by Arthur Conan Doyle

adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Probably the worst of the Sherlock novels, but still quite entertaining. It is definitely a product of its time and contains a fair amount of racism, but ignoring that, it is an engaging mystery. Although, the explanation at the end does stretch a bit too long.
