The Speckled Band
This book is named Sherlock Holmes Stories and was written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The main idea of the book centres on some mysterious cases that Sherlock Holmes resolves with help from his friend Watson.
The Speckled Band is a chapter which started describing us a woman that searched for Holmes, her name was Helen Stoner; she used to live with Roylott her stepfather because her mother and sister Julia died, he was a very violent man. When they get married they should recieve a part of the money her mother owned. Her sister died in a strange way and before she was unconscious she only said, “It was the speckled band!”. After Helen left the room her stepfather appears and demanded Holmes to stay away from him.
Holmes and Watson went to Helen´s house and Holmes looked very worried because of the things he saw in the bedrooms; there were a ventilator and a useless bell-rope. They told Helen to stay that night in her room because they were going to stay in her sister room. Holmes and Watson were in complete silence and darkness, suddenly they heard the most terrible noice from Roylott’s room, he was sitting in a chair beside a table helding in his hands a lenght of rope and around his head was a strange band with spots and they realized it was a snake. The snake passed through the ventilator it was really dificult to discover the poison in the dead body.
This chapter is really interesitng, it’s completely full of mystery and it’s perfectly complemented with a horrible and malicious villian. Holmes’s initial confrontation with the sinister Dr Roylott became the story very much exciting, Holmes perceives great danger and lays a complicated plan to defeat Helen. The melodrama of events is set always into Holmes's deductions.
The real mystery is not who killed Julia and threatens Helen, it’s how the murder took place. Also I like a lot the imaginative descriptions I could found in the chapter.
This is the first book I have read by Arthur Conan Doyle, and I have to say i doubt it will be my last. I consider that this chapter is the best of the this Sir Arthur Conan book, definitively I will keep this book as one of my favorites.
