The Jubilee Problem by Anna Elliott, Charles Veley
5.0
The Jubilee is around the corner and, of course! the Kaiser is willing to use it to try again to cause trouble to the Empire. Add some Fenians to the mix and you'll have a stunning adventure in which all the characters have the opportunity to shine, each of them in their own way. I love that about these stories, the way in which every single character has their strengths and weakness, how human they are. Except for Prince, who is, its name notwithstanding, a true king between his own :P
I really enjoy the way in which all the relationships advance realistically, how Holmes is slowly warming to the idea of having a daughter close by; how Watson embraces the idea and Lucy, who can't make herself call Holmes father, has no issue calling him uncle John; and how reticent is Jack to embark into a romance with Lucy due to the differences in their standings.
The mystery, as always, is great: complex, violent and fast-moving with lots of pieces that will seamlessly fit together at the end.
This is yet another great story in this series, wonderfully narrated by Simon Prebble and Wendy Tremont King.
