The Sign of Four

"Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand."

          After burning through a fantastic first installment of Sherlock Holmes I have started the second book: The Sign of Four.  Promising an even more complex story than the first book, I can't wait to see how Sherlock attempts to solve this puzzling mystery.  The mystery is this: The daughter of a British commander who has spent much of his life in India has returned home and has sent a telegram to his daughter.  The daughter shows up at the location the telegram said they were to meet, but he has disappeared.  Six years later, a box containing a pearl shows up at the daughter's doorstep, this repeats for another six years until the daughter gets a letter telling her to meet a stranger if she wants to right a wrong that has been done to her, and if she wants to discover what happened to her father.  So, she naturally enlists the help of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson as they head.  This mystery seems even more unsolvable than the previous one and has me chomping on the bit to see how Holmes unravels the strings of this misterious tail. The second book of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes seems even more engaging and fantastic than the first and I can't wait to finish reading it!
