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.

A good story and well performed by the narrator. Enjoyed it a lot! More to come.

Good story- enjoyed the performance

Could not get past the first chapter due to the narrator's awful attempt at accents. Sherlock was voiced as whingey and petulant, detracting from the story. Purchased an alternative audiobook with a different narrator and loved it. Surprised that given the book is written from the perspective of Watson, a female voice was the choice to narrate - attempts at making her voice masculine to fit the characters, ruins the mental imagery of the listener.

Dreadful narration

The reader’s voice was totally inappropriate for Watson’s narrative and ridiculous when attempting different accents.

Great story awful reading

I love the Sherlock books but this narration is making it a chore to listen to. I've listened to books narrated by this woman before and enjoyed them but in this instance she is not the right person for the job. IMO it needs to be narrated by a man, and an English man at that. Why they thought it would be a good idea to have an American woman narrate the story is beyond me.

Narration Is Testing My Patience

I never liked Sherlock Holmes mystery's until I turned 40, now I can't get enough.

Great Story
