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.

Hilarious
Smart, satirical, knowledgable, accurate, punchy, laugh out loud funny, surprising, shocking, thought provoking. Lovely short chapters. Loved it
Hugely entertaining…the novel is politically astute, gradually revealing a scam involving property and international money laundering. It’s laugh-out-loud funny, proceeding at a pace that makes it almost impossible to put down.
A propulsive plot, an ingenious narrator and lashings of intrigue make this a genuine and thoroughly enjoyable page-turner
The plot is corset-tight and lavish with its surprises. An amusing crime caper…a delight
What drives Hunter Murray’s chunky crime thriller along is Al’s idiosyncratic, comic narrative voice. As a result, it’s fun to spend time with him, even when it’s clear he’s not necessarily a great human being
Filled with humour, shocks, love and hate – and a few handy tips on how to beat the housing crisis… Funny, thoughtful and all-round entertaining
In the delicious A Beginner’s Guide to Breaking and Entering, a hapless housebreaker and his fellow miscreants must solve a murder before the police arrest them; it’s a comic delight.
I was hooked ... as it's filled with hilarious moments

An amusing well written unusual crime caper, enjoyable from the start. Phil Dunster narrates, becoming the gentle voiced lead character, sometime photographer and constant - shall we call him? - squatter (though he prefers the more benign description interloper), and a contented loner until the owner occupier of the house he has just entered returns unexpectedly to collect the passport he'd forgotten to take with him to the airport. And it's all downhill from there (well, almost: a teenager does leave him half of his kit-kat).

A fun and easy read, an excellent performance - only four instead of five stars as the ending chapters seemed both drawn out and rushed (!) But overall very entertaining and recommended.

Unusual and interesting backdrop to a twisty turny tale. Thoroughly enjoyed this and got through it really quickly as kept wanting to get back to the story. Great narration was the cherry on the cake!

Great story. Great narration.
