The Sign of the Four (1890), also called The Sign of Four, is the second novel featuring Sherlock Holmes written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Doyle wrote four novels and 56 short stories featuring the fictional detective.
The books of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson include a lot of amusing clichés. What I liked about this novel "The Sign of Four" is not only the interesting story itself that in a (usual) twist reveals the criminal and their motive. The novel also has real history in its background and made me read a lot of Wikipedia. You need time though.
De las historias largas que he leído de Holmes es la que menos me ha atrapado. Es una aventura muy movida, exótica y enrevesada, pero hay poco del misterio y deducción que siempre esperamos de él. En todo caso, no te aburrirás.
