Only a few chapters in and I'm loving the book already! It is written in a faster pace than what I expected, and I'm excited to enter the world of Deduction with Holmes and Watson 🕵️‍♂️

I just finished 'A Study in Scarlet' (which I really enjoyed) and now it's on to 'The Sign of the Four'. I've read this one before and I'm not particularly fond of it, but I was studying it for uni the first time around so maybe I'll like it better when I'm not having to analyse it.

Lola I am half-way through! #sherlocked 8y
Heather_Reads @Lola Awesome! Have you liked all the stories so far? I can't wait to get to Hounds of the Baskerville. 8y
Lola @Heather_Reads I have! I read A Study in Scarlet because I wanted to participate in the @Litsy #serial read of The Sign of the Four and decided I wanted to read the stories in order.My husband is a big Sherlock Holmes fan, so it's fun to read these stories from that perspective too. I just read my first noir/hard-boiled detective book, Red Harvest by Hammett, written in 1929 and clearly influenced by Doyle so that's added to the experience as well 8y

The Complete Sherlock Holmes | Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

"I had neither kith nor kin in England, and was therefore free as air—or as free as an income of eleven shillings and sixpence a day will permit a man to be. Under such circumstances I naturally gravitated to London, that great cesspool into which all the loungers and idlers of the Empire are irresistibly drained."

Ah, Dr John H. Watson. Such a way with words.
