Sherlock Holmes is contacted by Helen Stoner who lives in fear of her life. She lives with her step father, a rather irascible and cankerous man. Her sister died shortly before she was due to be married and now Ms Stoner is staying in her sister's room, the room her sister was in the night she died. Some strange things are afoot.
An excellent Sherlock Holmes mystery. Follows the usual formula: Holmes approached by person who feels they are in danger or that a murder has been committed, Holmes' interest is piqued, investigation follows.
Despite following this pattern it is very interesting and while the perpetrator is a fairly likely suspect, the motive is less clear and the means certainly not obvious.
