By this time Holmes and Watson already have an idea of what took place the night the sister died. She gives the important detail that her sister was to be married in a short while, and that their stepfather Dr.Roylott would have to sever his earnings to fund the sister's married life. It is composed well and surprising even though much foreshadowing is given near three quarters of the book, and you may or may not have figured out, or at least suspected the culprit.Sherlock Holmes, and his partner, Watson, are visited by a young woman who explains to them that her sister has passed away in a tragic and unsolved manner. It will leave you in a state of confusion and have you examining the events that have occurred to solve the mystery beforehand. The many character differences and events create a story that cannot simply be explained, but understood by reading and finding out for yourself. Sherlock Holmes, The adventure of the Speckled Band is a complex tale of mystery. I recomend this book for readers who enjoy a good mystery book. Some books you can tell what is going to happen, but with this book you can never tell. You never really know what is going to come next.

The book litaraly kept me on the edge of my seat.

This book was an amazing mystery story.The book used a few words I did not under stand(until I looked them up in the dictionary) but it was still a fantastic book. What does he have to hide? With Sherlock's keen sense and good examination skills, him and his partner find many interesting clues on who might have killed the sister.I personally think that the Shurlock Holmes books are the greatest books I have ever read. The father suspects that his daughter went to Holmes and he pays him a visit saying to leave him alone. Holmes takes the case and sets out, with the help of his assistent Watson, to uncover this interesting mystery. The woman thinks that their father killed her, but does not have the proof, which is the reason she has come to Holmes. The woman also stated that her sister's last words were something about a speckled band. The woman explains to Holmes that her sister was killed.

Sherlock Holmes gets a visit from a woman, asking him to take up a rather mystrious case.
