The Garrick, for example, caters to those with theatrical inclinations, the Athenaeum to eggheads. But the Asterisk may have the strictest membership regulations: \u003ci\u003eAcquitted murderers only\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHappily, Benjamin Cann fits the brief. Sure, he strangled Rachel Bolger with a length of pongee silk, but the jury thought different, so while Benji's old landlord may not want him back, the Asterisk gang — suave Clifford Flush (pushed ladies off trains), Mitteleuropean sexpot Lilli Cluj (crushed her husband with a bumper-car), et al. — offers a warm welcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBenji doesn't love the thought of sharing digs with people more than usually inclined to poison the sherry, but the motherly Mrs. Barratt (dosed Mr. B with ground glass) is delighted. So nice to have fresh blood. And it will be such fun to watch him meet the neighbours!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47487691325676,"sku":"9781631943102","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/ef3d21e1716b40fc8775d13eabdcdd63.jpg?v=1775770405","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-wooden-overcoat-by-pamela-branch-9781631943102","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
