Welcome to Raven's Readings. I'm reading from The Sign of the Four, written by Arthur Conan Doyle in 1890. This novel features his character, Sherlock Holmes, a detective who excels in observation, deduction, logic, and forensics. Assisting Holmes is Doctor John Watson. The Sherlock stories are narratives written from the POV of Watson, as he attempts to record and publicize Sherlock's work. This novel is the second in the series.
Last time, we left Doctor Watson with Lucy Marsden, as they opened the treasure chest and discovered it was empty. What happened to the treasure? And how did Small acquire it in the first place. Watson and the police inspector will now rejoin Holmes, Detective Jones, and the criminal, Jonathan Small.
This is a long final chapter, so I'll do it in two readings.
I do readings twice a week, so this collection should take about six weeks. Please subscribe to my Substack newsletter, you'll be notified of my updates as soon as they are ready. If you enjoy this reading, or have other classics you'd like to hear, leave me a comment. I'm considering next doing The Wind in the Willows, by Kenneth Grahame.
