The Sign of the Four

The Sherlock Holmes Series, Book 2

By: Arthur Conan Doyle

Narrated by: Marnye Young

First published in 1890, The Sign of the Four is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s second book starring legendary detective Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The story is complex, involving a secret between four ex-cons from India and a hidden treasure. More complex than the first Holmes novel, The Sign of the Four also introduces the detective’s drug habit and leaves breadcrumbs for the listener that lead toward the final resolution.

Each year following the strange disappearance of her father, Miss Morstan has received a present of a rare and lustrous pearl. Now, on the day she is summoned to meet her anonymous benefactor, she consults Holmes and Watson.

Very well read

I enjoyed listening from first to last. Excellent narration, interesting to hear a female voice performing this story for a change.

Easy listening

Fun to listen to a famous story this way! I liked more the British male reader of the first book than this one!

Wonderful reader. Fantastic story.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Sherlock Holmes classic. The reader made the words come alive. Thanks to Audible for sharing this through its Audible Plus catalogue.
