Judith Lee is back. After her first episode, more of you asked for her again than for any other Archive detective this month — so we have not made you wait.

She is a teacher of the deaf, and she reads lips — across a room, across a railway platform, whether she means to or not. She does not investigate crimes. She overhears them being arranged.

Two cases tonight. CONSCIENCE begins on Brighton pier, with a round-faced man whispering a description of a lady's dress to two strangers. MATCHED begins with a hurried word at Charing Cross — and ends on a pleasure cruise with the most accomplished passenger aboard.

ℹ️ FOR LISTENERS This is a complete, unabridged reading of two stories by Richard Marsh, collected in Judith Lee: Some Pages From Her Life (1912) and now in the public domain. Every word is the author's own, and some descriptions reflect the attitudes of 1912. Part of The Midnight Archive: three nights of classics every week, alongside four original Nocturnal Tales mysteries.

🗳️ YOU CHOOSE WHAT'S NEXT The Archive is deep — Judith Lee? Max Carrados? Loveday Brooke? Violet Strange? Sherlock Holmes? Father Brown? Lady Molly? Raffles? Dr Thorndyke? Arsène Lupin? Vote in the poll attached to this episode, or tell us in the comments which classic you want to hear by lamplight.

💬 QUESTION FOR THE COMMENTS One case in which she is certain and can prove nothing, and one in which she meets her match. Which did you prefer — and should Judith Lee come back again? 🕵️
