THE SPECKLED BAND
A Sherlock Holmes adventure
Synopsis
One morning in April 1883, Holmes and Watson are visited by Helen Stoner, a young frightened who tells a tragedy. Her sister died in strange circumstances and although her prudence prevents her from openly accusing her stepfather, Dr. Roylott, suggests that this is what she believes, and she adds that she fears for her life seriously.
The end
Actually the killer was the sister, who had put the papers that accused the stepfather.
The main characters
Sherlock Holmes
This character is a man deeply passionate about justice, committed to rationalism and factual deductions.
Doctor Watson
This character is a doctor who moves away from Baker Street when he gets married.
Dr. Grimesby Roylott and Helen Stoner
Roylott showed independence and initiative by becoming a doctor and working for a living which was strange for nobility of that time.
Helen is a kind woman who serves as the damsel in distress. The death of her twin sister, Julia Stoner, is the catalyst for this story.
My opinion
I liked the story because since the beginning I've thought that the murderer was the stepfather, but actually, was the sister. I did not expect that final and I opine that it was very interesant.
