Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Property might be theft. But the housing market is murder.
My name is Al. I live in wealthy people's second homes while their real owners are away.
I don’t rob them, I don’t damage anything… I’m more an unofficial house-sitter than an actual criminal.
Life is good.
Or it was - until last night, when my friends and I broke into the wrong place, on the wrong day, and someone wound up dead.
And now…now we’re in a great deal of trouble.
Featuring crooked houses, dodgy coppers and a lot of lockpicking, A Beginner's Guide to Breaking and Entering is a gripping thriller about what it's like to be young, skilled, unemployed - and on the run.

Gripping crime comedy thriller
A well written crime thriller with some humour spread throughout. I found the characters to be well developed, and like a good whodunnit, kept you guessing up until the big reveal. I have read the author's other two books, and think this is his best to date. I look forward to any further novels. Knowing the author's podcast work, I had a wry smile when he included nominative determinism.
The narration by Phil Dunster was very good, perfectly suited for the style of story, conveying the underlying humour superbly.

Good characters, some humour
Not as good as I’d hoped from newspaper review. Amusing in a gentle way. Silly plot, good narrator.
