An old tower, a family that has held it a very long time, and a matter they would greatly prefer to settle without lawyers.
Max Carrados can drop the most absorbing occupation of his day at a moment's notice and apply himself entirely to somebody else's difficulty. Somebody has travelled a long way to ask him a question they have not asked anybody else.
No murder tonight, and that is deliberate. It is the third stretch running in which several of you have written to say the gentle cases are the ones you enjoy most, and we would rather programme for what you actually tell us than for what a mystery series is supposed to look like.
Watch for Parkinson. The manservant gets the last word, and he has earned it.
ℹ️ FOR LISTENERS This is a complete, unabridged reading of The Secret of Dunstan's Tower by Ernest Bramah, collected in The Eyes of Max Carrados (1923) and now in the public domain. Every word is the author's own. 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 — more Max Carrados? Loveday Brooke? Judith Lee? 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 This is the third time in a row we have programmed a case with no body in it, because you keep asking. Should we keep a gentle one in every week? 🕵️
