Publisher's Summary
First published in 1890, The Sign of the Four is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s second book starring legendary detective Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The story is complex, involving a secret between four ex-cons from India and a hidden treasure. More complex than the first Holmes novel, The Sign of the Four also introduces the detective’s drug habit and leaves breadcrumbs for the listener that lead toward the final resolution.
Each year following the strange disappearance of her father, Miss Morstan has received a present of a rare and lustrous pearl. Now, on the day she is summoned to meet her anonymous benefactor, she consults Holmes and Watson.

Women shouldn't narrate Sherlock Holmes
Why, when the book is narrated by a man in the first person, and when the two main heroes and the majority of characters in the book are men, would you get a woman to narrate it? A delicate voice that completely fails to do male voices well.

Difficult narrator to follow
The narrators breathy feminine voice is unable to easily differentiate between the different male characters, making it harder to follow. The tone also gives everyone a melodramatic hoighty toighty air about them - feels appropriate for a Jane Austen novel, but not here with analytical and soldierly men.
