This is an episode where the set-up is quite good, but the result (which I will not ruin) runs a little off the tracks. The suspense is quite good, however, as a beautiful young music teacher goes to 221B to talk to Holmes about a two-wheeled stalker who follows her on her path to her work. He never gets terribly close, stops when she stops, but his appearance is unsettling, to say the least. Holmes sends Watson to keep an eye on her, but the results are disappointing. Holmes goes to investigate the principles in the case, one of them, a man who is quite a bit older than the young woman, who has proposed marriage to her and been rebuked. By investigating this man, Holmes begins to piece together the web of intrigue that surrounds his client. I have to say that I felt that for all her fears, she was a pretty cool customer to put herself in potential harm continuously. Of course, she was being paid well at the job, but there were forces at work, and most of us would have found her actions foolish. When I first read this story, I found the ending laughable, but that's what the author wrote. You'll have to decide for yourself. Of course, there's great interaction between the detective and his sidekick which makes everything watchable. Another nice entry into the Granada series.
