Ep 2. The Abbey Grange

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are on another thrilling case in season 2 episode 2 of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, titled "The Abbey Grange". This episode takes place in the English countryside, where a wealthy old man has been murdered in his mansion. The prime suspect is his estranged wife, who fled the scene of the crime and hasn't been seen since.

As always, Sherlock Holmes is called upon to solve this mysterious case. He and Watson travel to the Abbey Grange, where they begin to investigate the scene of the murder. The mansion is opulent and grand, with winding staircases and hidden passages. The victim's body is found in a guest bedroom, with no obvious signs of violence. The windows were locked from the inside, and there are no signs of forced entry.

As Sherlock and Watson begin to question the victim's staff, they learn that the old man was paranoid and reclusive. He kept to himself in his study most days, and spent his evenings with his wife. The staff also reveals that the victim's wife was not well liked, and that she had been arguing with her husband earlier in the evening.

Holmes and Watson turn their attention to searching the grounds of the Abbey Grange. They discover that the wife had fled on horseback, leaving behind a trail of hoof prints that lead to a nearby train station. The detectives find out that a woman matching the wife's description had boarded a train to London, and they quickly follow her to the city.

In London, Holmes and Watson track down the wife to a seedy hotel. But when they confront her, they discover that she has an alibi for the time of the murder. This raises even more questions, and Sherlock must use all of his deductive skills to solve the case. As the investigation continues, the detectives encounter several more suspects, including an old friend of the victim, a local landowner, and a young housemaid.
