The sign of four
The story starts with Sherlock Holmes and his friend Dr.Watson sitting in their apartment. Then a girl comes named Mary Morston saying that his father had died years ago but she didn't know who killed him. And 6 years ago she was reading the newspaper the paper a man was saying that if she told her address she will recieve something he told the man her address and and on the same day every year she was being gifted a purl. A few days ago Mary recieved a letter saying to meet up and the letter said bring no police she was scared so she told sherlock to come with him. So they go and meet the man the man invites him to his house. The man tells her that he was gifting those purls because his father and her found at their time they found a tressure together so he was giving the parts of the tressure. Then the man says we have to go and meet my brother as they arrive to his brothers house they saw that his brother was murdered by a poisoned dart. The tressure was with his brother but the murderers had stolen it. Sherlock notices that there was some footprints and those feet were wide spread and a footprint of a one legged man.
The next morning makes his dog smell the footprints so he can track the killer. The dog starts running to the river and goes to boats but the murderer wasn't there but that was enough for him. Sherlock goes home and in the next day he goes and visits the spot of the river he sees the one legged man and an indian person with no shoes. They were on a boat. he didn't do anything because he was alone so Sherlock goes Dr.Watson and tells him to come with him tonight and to the place that he spotted them and he says bring two revolvers with him. Night time comes and he goes with Dr.Watson to the place they see them both they see sherlock and hop on their boat and run away but they didn't know the police were on a boat to so they catch them and send them to prison
The story was good I think that the writer could've included more action in the story I would've changed the ending little bit adding more interest in it but it was okay. In my review I only told maybe 40% of the story but it was the important stuff if you read the book you will find it more interesting it will make more sense. Overall the story was interesting and fun to read.
