A review by wolterse
The Sign of Four by Arthur Conan Doyle
5.0
This is my second favorite Sherlock Holmes story (behind A Study In Scarlet, of course). It's very beautifully written and also heartbreaking if you know where to look. The following quote always gets me.
The division seems rather unfair," I remarked. "You have done all the work in this business. I get a wife out of it, Jones gets the credit, pray what remains for you?"
"For me," said Sherlock Holmes, "there still remains the cocaine-bottle." And he stretched his long white hand up for it.”
