Start your review of The Jubilee Problem (Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James Mystery #4)
This is the fifth instalment in the A Sherlock Holmes and Lucy James Mysteries series. Although I believe this series can be read out of order, certain events in the novel lead on from the books preceding this one.
The renowned literary detective, Sherlock Holmes, has combined forces with his equally as credible daughter, Lucy James. Together they must find a way to defeat those behind the conspiracy that would see the end to the British royal family and the political hierarchy as we know it.

Lucy, Sherlock, Dr. Watson and a local policeman, Jack Kelly, work together to solve different mysteries. In this book they meet up with a former foe from previous books. Will Lucy and Jack get togetter?

I started reading the stories of Sherlock Holmes as a child. I re-read them again when I was in my teens, and yet again as an adult. I always appreciated the logic and deductions made by Holmes, but it was not until I was an adult that I realized the importance of Dr. John Watson. Without Watson, Sherlock might never have solved a case. What I didn't see in reading the canon was the history concerning the plight of women that, unfortunately, persists until this day. It is the addition of Lucy Ja

My love of all things Sherlock Holmes began on afternoons after mowing my uncles yard spent watching old movies on a local UHF station and seeing Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce as the famed detective and his sidekick. For me Rathbone will forever be the Holmes I remember even if I’ve loved all others who’ve played the character. But the stories were limited to those written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and authors who have taken up his character have blown hot and cold. The series of books involvin

The Jubilee Problem has Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, and Lucy James working together to prevent any disruption of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebration in 1897. Who might want to cause death and destruction on the occasion?
The "threat of terrorism was very real and police chiefs, who had received a tip-off about ‘an anarchist outrage’, brought hundreds of retired officers back into service to keep the public safe." (source)
In the novel, Holmes and crew include the Fenian Brotherhood and ...more
Love this series! Highly recommended; good, clean fun!
Even if you’re not a Sherlock fan, historical fiction readers will enjoy this fast-paced thriller filled with mystery and international intrigue. It is well-written, interesting on several levels, and just plain fun to read. Care has been taken to make the setting and events as “period perfect” as possible, and I felt as if I actually was visiting London in 1897, during the reign of Queen Victoria.

The year of Queen Victoria's Jubilee has arrived, but a threat hangs over what should be a celebration. Can Sherlock Holmes, with the help of his daughter, Lucy James, and Dr Watson, prevent tragedy from happening?

Lucy has sent the priest brother of her roommate to see Holmes. The man is agitated and seems unwilling to say exactly why, but Fenians have been laying around his parish and he is concerned. Then the Jubilee of Victoria is coming up and Holmes is asked to help. The Germans of course are at it still and there is still a mole in the government somewhere. All of course have an axe to grind with Holmes and crew. Considerable resolution for long time readers on several fronts. Quite a fun Holmes spi

Excellent!
Another terrific entry in this remarkable series! Holmes, Watson, and Lucy are involved in foiling any plot to interrupt the Queen's Jubilee in 1897 to celebrate her 60 years on the throne. It is high adventure with several attempts at kidnapping them, several murders, and the need to determine the traitor in high government position. ...more

This series is captivating, with old familiar characters like Sherlock and Dr. Watson, but infused with new “friends” Lucy James, John Kelly, and others. I'm glad I started the series and look forward to more of the Lucy James novels.

I am making my way through all the books, leaving all the short stories until the last, and they are in collection which is hopefully complete, so will read them after done with series itself, and hopefully will not be spoilers for me.

Great Scott or something!

Enjoyed just as much as the other books in this series, which include a very likeable and new character, Lucy James.

I love the idea that Sherlock could have had a daughter. Makes me want to go binge watch Sherlock with Benjamin Cumberpatch;)

Surprisingly fun, historical YA mystery with a solid base on Sherlock Holmes. Intricately plotted. Characters are well drawn. Clean and keeps a reader wanting more. My first for this author and series and I’ll be reading more of them.
