Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are no strangers to peculiar cases. Be it the dilemma of an Indian princess on the run, perfectly healthy people dropping dead as divine punishment, being challenged to a duel, a heartbroken and suicidal young man, a beautiful woman claiming to be Mrs. Holmes, a little boy who loves his dog, an old Scottish ghost that traditionally haunts husbands of pregnant women - there is very little they haven't seen (and solved). But, besides regular adventures, there are quite a few questions - Where was Holmes during the Great Hiatus?

This program includes a preface read by the author. In 1915, Sherlock Holmes is retired and quietly engaged in the study of honeybees when a young woman literally stumbles into him on the Sussex Downs. Fifteen years old, gawky, egotistical, and recently orphaned, the young Mary Russell displays an intellect to impress even Sherlock Holmes - and match him wit for wit. Under his reluctant tutelage, this very modern 20th-century woman proves a deft protégée and a fitting partner for the Victorian detective.

The year 1894. The monstrous Hound of the Baskervilles has been dead for five years, along with its no less monstrous owner, the naturalist Jack Stapleton. Sir Henry Baskerville is living contentedly at Baskerville Hall with his new wife, Audrey, and their three-year-old son, Harry. Until, that is, Audrey’s lifeless body is found on the moors, drained of blood. It would appear some fiendish creature is once more at large on Dartmoor and has, like its predecessor, targeted the unfortunate Baskerville family.

What a Jubilee!
What made the experience of listening to The Jubilee Problem: A Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James Mystery the most enjoyable?
Wendy Tremont King and Simon Prebble made the listening very enjoyable. I enjoyed the interactions with the common people who helped Lucy obtain the cart and clothes
What other book might you compare The Jubilee Problem: A Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James Mystery to and why?
I would not compare the 1-2-3 books in The Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James Mysteries series with the 4-5-6 books done by Wendy Tremont King and Simon Prebble.
Wendy's voice portrays Lucy James so well and Simon Prebble is great with Sherlock Holmes. Frankly, there is no comparison, that I skipped 1-2-3 books and moved on to the narrators I really like!
Which character – as performed by Wendy Tremont King and Simon Prebble – was your favorite?
Lucy James is so witty and intelligent. Sherlock Holmes so British and detective like!
Lucy is my favorite character as I have a daughter Lucy...sorry Simon!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, too long for 1 sitting.
Any additional comments?
Recommend: Redo Books 1-2-3 in The Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James Mysteries series by Wendy Tremont King and Simon Prebble, if you want this series to be a hit and sell books! It's a shame the 1st 3 books are done differently, may not encourage listeners to to even go to further books in the series.....

She is showing her Sherlock
Lots of goings on, intrigue, kidnapping and murder. What is it that makes solving these happenings so necessary? Why is pressure from high levels of government pushing Holms et all to take the case? Why is it something Sherlock Holmes, Dr Watson and his daughter must solve and stop! Written I feel, with a bit of tongue in cheek humor, these books are certainly enjoyable.Fast paced and involved with a lot of action, if you like Holmes stories you will most likely enjoy this. UNLESS you are a purist?

Good story; problematic production
I would have enjoyed this very good story much more if it were not for the abrupt chapter junctions, sight volume changes in between chapters (the woman’s voice was always louder and more clear, and the men’s voices more quiet and muffled) and the occasional missing words or duplicated sentences. Additionally, the female narrator sounds too monotonous and at least a decade or two older than the 22 year old she portrays, which is a bit odd. Otherwise it is a good story and I will probably buy the others in the series, although possibly in Kindle version and not the audiobooks.
