The reviews I am looking at appear to be of various products."The Sign of the Four" is the second "Sherlock Holmes" novel, the first being "A Study in Scarlet". This novel was published in 1890, during the Victorian Era. It is a good example of both of a Sherlock Holmes novel, and Victorian Literature. The novel is of medium length. Many Victorian novels are quite lengthy compared to many modern American popular novels. The language is somewhat formal and proper, especially when individuals such as Holmes and Watson are speaking. The is no vulgarity. The story was authored during the time of British Colonialism and some references may seem ethnically insensitive."The Sign of the Four" and "A Study in Scarlet" are both good novels and I liked both of them about the same. Both involve a back stories from other countries. The back story takes up a good bit of the time of both novels. It also makes both novels somewhat unlikely stories, but of course, this is fiction! At times both of these stories are somewhat convoluted. But in the end they are both fairly readable and comprehendable.As a retired detective who enjoys Victorian Literature, Sherlock Holmes is certainly one of favorite fictional detectives.. I enjoy some of his leaps of logic, although for me many of them fall into the category of "possiblity" rather than "probability" as far as I am concerned. Of course Sherlock Holmes is almost always correct.During my career, I had to rework numerous cases, "cold cases" and others that were generally screwed up messes. When I worked these cases, what I found was that often police officers would sometimes make such leaps of logic and then assume these leaps are correct. When cases go nowhere, as often as not I found it was because these leaps were incorrect.In summary, I liked this novel very much. At times the story was somewhat convoluted but was still enjoyable. In the near future I intend to continue my study of Sherlock Holmes stories, the next being "A Scandal in Bohemia". Thank You... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best Sherlock Holmes adventures *by C***N on Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2019* Review of the free Kindle editionA Public Domain BookPublication date: May 12, 2012Language: EnglishASIN: B0082XO4JUTHE SIGN OF THE FOUR has been one of my two favorite Sherlock Holmes books since I was a child. What red-blooded American boy or girl for that matter wouldn't like an adventure and mystery tale of stolen treasure; India during the mutiny; strange, exotic characters invading a stately home of England in search of the treasure stolen from the thieves by double dealing "gentlemen" ; murder and more. The only thing I didn't like was the ultimate fate of the treasure. As an adult, I understand that this enabled Dr. Watson to find an even greater treasure but.... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hardcore Mystery *by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2020* I'm a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes and when I read for the first time this book I wasn't very delighted. I was just a kid and it was too slow for me, I guess. No "real" action like in most of A.C. Doyle's stories about Sherlock.But, when I grow up, I realize how brilliant this story is. It is not just a mystery novel, it is a family drama set in a dark period of British colonization of India and Doyle works through a few decades of history to make his point at the end of the novel.As a kid, I couldn't comprehend it. As a grown-up, I couldn't but be amazed at how A.C. Doyle portrayed not only my favorite detective but one era of British history using all classes of British society and their secrets to show that. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/31353084-the-sign-of-four-paperback-february-4-2016](https://www.desertcart.us/products/31353084-the-sign-of-four-paperback-february-4-2016) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
