    A young lady by the name of Mary Howard comes to the famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, in an attempt to uncover the reason as to why the man she is to soon marry has changed so drastically in so little time. It seems quite the elementary problem on the surface, but as Holmes and his faithful companion, Dr. Watson, begin to unravel the threads to Miss Howard's interesting dilemma, they find that there is a more sinister plan lurking within the depths of her fiancé's mind. ____________________ This is my first attempt at writing a Sherlock Holmes story, so I'm really hoping it's good enough. I tried to write it in exactly the same style as the original stories, so it proved somewhat difficult, but I'm much relieved at having actually finished it, rather than leaving it in the drafts forever. I really hope you'll like it!
