The peace of 221B Baker Street is abruptly shattered when a fleeing woman arrives hammering at the front door, having run miles to reach the famed address. It soon becomes clear from her narrative that this terrified soul is fleeing her husband, and pleads sanctuary and aid, while telling a story as horrific as it is shocking, for this runaway wife claims that she has wed a heartless Bluebeard, a man who has marriedand murdered—four women before her, and now this charming monster intends that she, the fifth bride, is to be his latest victim. Indeed, she reveals the man has already made two subtle attempts on her life, the last but mere hours before, and fears his next strike shall succeed. Is her story true, or the result of hysterical madness? And of what assistance might even the great Sherlock Holmes be to her, when the laws of England state that a man enjoys the right to have his spouse returned to him, wherever she is, even against her will, and may go so far as to summon the police to bring this about. The Adventure of the Fifth Bride is the latest mystery in The Continuing Chronicles of Sherlock Holmes, by author C. Thorne!
