Book 2 Reflection 3

I would say the genera of “Sign of Four” are strongly sorted into being a mystery genus. The subgenera’s is simply a general mystery. The book is filled with mystery of- just put simply- “who done it? “In the story Sherlock Holmes has to solve the mystery of how someone was murdered in a completely locked room, which is leaving behind the message of The Sign of Four and what does that sign of four even mean. What also makes this a mystery is that Holmes must put together clues to solve the case. For example, the clues of a change in handwriting lead him to the crimes scene. He uses skills of trickery and deduction to solve the crime, for example after Watson and Sherlock had found who the suspect was, he used a dog to find out where the suspect went after committing the crime, he then noticed that the trailed stopped at a marina, and that he was obviously on a boat. He then asked a nearby child if he had seen a man, the child then informed him that he left on the Aurora. Sherlock then manipulated the situation (as seen in many mysteries, to get more information about the crime) telling the boy that he knew of such a boat was it still blue with white strips? The boy (not knowing Sherlock was just guessing the descriptions) told him the correct color and look of the boat allowing Sherlock to then further fallow the suspect.
