The Wooden Overcoat - Pamela Branch | Radio Drama

"The Wooden Overcoat" by Pamela Branch is a darkly comic murder mystery set in London in 1951. The story revolves around Benjamin Cann, a man who has barely escaped the gallows after being acquitted of murder. Surprisingly invited to join the Asterisk Club, a secretive group of acquitted murderers, Cann finds himself among a bizarre mix of deadly characters who have also evaded justice for their crimes. But things take a turn when Cann is found dead, leading to a comedic yet macabre series of attempts by the other characters to dispose of his body without attracting attention from the neighbours. The novel delves into a series of darkly humorous events involving the other members of the club and the suspicious neighbours as they all try to manipulate the situation to their advantage while solving the mystery of Cann's death. Written with quirky details and sharp dialogue, Branch crafts an ingenious farce where even the dead bodies become part of the comic relief. "The Wooden Overcoat" mixes eccentric characters, twisted plots, and a sophisticated but humorous narrative, making it a standout piece in the genre of comedic crime novels.
