A young woman arrives early in the morning, very frightened. Two years ago, her twin sister, who were about to get married, died in strange circumstances, after have heard several times a whistle during the night. Her sister died in her arms, whispering "this is the speckled band". Now, Helen Stoner is about to get married too. And last night, she heard the deadly whistle.
There is little suspense here. The stepfather lived in India, likes Asian pets and has strong money incentives to avoid two marriages. However, that's a nice story:
First, it takes place in the country nearby London, and I always like the atmosphere of this kind of tales.
Second, Sherlock (and Watson as well) behaves with chivalry. Comes a damsel in distress, he takes the case straightaway -and doesn't care about money. He always keeps in mind to protect his client, and will eventually save her.
A classic but pleasant adventure on the whole.
