Sherlock Holmes' new client, Helen Stoner, has a vague fear of eminent danger, but she cannot quite understand what it is that she has to fear. Her step-father has a reputation as a very violent man who was forced to leave India after killing his butler and serving a lengthy sentence. Helen's father died when she was two years old, and her mother died in a train accident eight years ago. Her twin sister, Julia, died two years prior under suspicious circumstances, and she has been forced to sleep in her sister's old bedroom. Holmes agrees to investigate.

The Adventure of the Speckled Band is told in the third-person point of view. This means that the book's characters, such as Sherlock Holmes, are referred to by their names in the story. For example, a sentence might be read as "Holmes investigated the desk."
I beg to differ. It is written from the first person point of view.
Uhmm, if you are talking about in the drama "The Speckled Band", it was a deadly snake. Within minutes of it biting you, you will be killed.
