The Sign of Four by Arthur Conan Doyle
3.0
"The emotional qualities are antagonistic to clear reasoning."
Funnily enough, this is the one story where I feel like Sherlock is exceptionally more human than some of the others I read. Makes the quote that much more interesting. Sherlock is wonderfully flawed in this one.
The mystery was unpredictable, always good. I have to say, I was rather distracted from the main plot when I realised who Mary was (going to be) to John and was hyperfocused in reading things about them. Quite an adorable origin-story they have.
In short, entertaining. Not masterful like some of the others but a good story.
