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.

Sharing lodging in the sleepy English village of Walmsley Parva has eased some of the financial strain on the two old school chums, but money is still tight in these years following the Great War. So when the local vicar - and pigeon-racing club president - approaches them with a private inquiry opportunity, the ladies accept. There's been a spot of bother: The treasurer has absconded with the club's funds and several prized birds. But when they visit the man's loft, they find their elusive quarry lying in white feathers and a pool of crimson blood - the only witnesses cooing mournfully.

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?
