"The Adventure of the Speckled Band" Wikipedia (via DBPedia)

"The Adventure of the Speckled Band" is one of the 56 short Sherlock Holmes stories written by Scottish author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. It is the eighth of the twelve stories collected in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. The story was first published in Strand Magazine in February 1892, with illustrations by Sidney Paget. It was published under the different title "The Spotted Band" in New York World in August 1905. Doyle later revealed that he thought this was his best Holmes story. Doyle wrote and produced a play based on the story. It premiered at the Adelphi Theatre, London on 4 June 1910, with H. A. Saintsbury as Sherlock Holmes and Lyn Harding as Dr. Grimesby Roylott. The play, originally called The Stonor Case, differs from the story in several details, such as the names of some of the characters.

Chosen Answer by The Walster

Good vs Evil is a very broad generalization, I'd say it's more about greed, self interest and social status. The main reason that the father kills one of his step daughters and plans to kill the other is that if they were to marry he would lose a large portion of the income he was getting (which was willed to him by the girls' mother for their upkeep) because it would then go directly to the girls themselves. As he had no other source of income this loss would mean that he would no longer be able to keep his large stately home or live in the manner to which he was accustomed. He could certainly be described as evil in some ways because he obviously cared more for the money and status than he did for his step daughters, but he did not kill simply because he was evil but because he was motivated by greed and could not stand the thought of a life of poverty.

As above with the addition that Conan Doyle was a genius at his craft and if you read the Sherlock Holmes stories you might actually enjoy them.
