About this listen
Performed by acclaimed narrators Simon Prebble and Wendy Tremont King.
The year is 1897. Sherlock Holmes and his lovely young American daughter Lucy James must foil a plot to destroy Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebration, defeating the high-ranking traitor who has eluded them in their previous adventures. If they fail, the Queen and thousands of innocent people will die, and the British Empire will fall into chaos.

I enjoyed the story and that there were several sub-plots which are eventually woven together to give an exciting finale. I did think that it could have been tightened up a little, I found my attention wandering at times and for me it could have been shortened by 30 minutes or so. There are also the usual 'Americanisms' scattered throughout the story which did grate with me and detracted a bit from my enjoyment, I also thought that the 'Cockney' accents lapsed at times into sounding a bit like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins, again this slightly spoiled it for me. These couple of criticisms are why I have taken a star off, it could have been a 5 star rating.
I must emphasise that despite these criticisms I did enjoy listening to this audio book and I do recommend it.
Entertaining Sherlock Holmes tale
