Highly Recommended for Mystery Lovers
5By CorbwilA page turner from beginning to end! Perfect balance of description, dialogue, action and suspense. I enjoyed that it even involved a slight bit of romance.The 2nd Sherlock Holmes story
5By drtgaitherIt’s aged like fine wine. It still holds up.Gems’ fate
5By AbdurahmonDI really hoped that Small had actually hidden the stones somewhere else rather than throw them in the river and Holmes would find them. I guess I am more materilistic than I admitPure Holmes
5By Captaingeorge3Uncomfortable with the imperialistic tone. Story is goodThe sign of the four
5By sherlock jimmyExcellent writingAwesome Book
4By NiccoCapotostoSign of Four was fantastic. Doyle's action packed writing keeps the reader interested. I just wish the book was longer. The ending was mildly unsatisfactory.Good as it is
5By Syeeprimadonna....Holmes!!!
4By Mego JoeThe Sherlock Holmes stories by A.C. Doyle are always intriguing and the true precursor to the modern detective story. Whether you like Jim Rockford or Endeavor Morse, you will find Holmes pleasing. While Watson is certainly more narrator than participant, it is always enjoyable to imagine a competent Watson instead of the incredulous Nigel Bruce of the well-known movie series. Definitely recommend this and all the Doyle stories to fans of the RDJ/Jude Law films and PBS viewers. The game is afoot!The Sign of the Four
5By HamemnFun Classic Conan Doyle. Captivating to the very end.The Sign of Four
5By GazzrIt is always refreshing to step back and visit old writing in its original state. The style was vey matter of fact and it gives you an incredible sense of the era and values associated with it. A thoroughly enjoyable read and one that has stood the test of time.Horrible

4By Simpson62As in most of these books, Doyle is a wonderful wordsmith. In this book, however, I lost interest in the telling of the treasure finding and the process of bringing the treasure to England. RogerI really like these books
5By Freddv92I have read the first two books and now I'm a Sherlock Holmes fan. I'll read all the books, that's for sure.The Sign of the Four
5By Atom BoomerAn interesting read. Even on an iPhone.Classic!
4By DerrekD-SLCThis one is a bit dull in the final quarter. Splendid, otherwise.Good as always
5By Sherlockian 221Doyle hit another home run❕❕❕👍👍👍Sign of the Four
5By KeumranWonderful, classic Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson . . . So charming a tale!Awesome
5By Zach8659Another great Sherlock Holmes story!Sign of the Four is very good
5By TomDuganGreat book. A Study in Scarlet (his first Sherlock Holmes novel) is his best. His 2nd (the Sign of the Four) is 2nd best and Hound of the Baskervilles is last of the Conan Doyle novels I've read .
