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.

Hugely entertaining
What an easy listen! Looked forward to car journeys to catch up on the story. Humour, familiar landscapes, intriguing plot, interesting characters - great book. Looking forward to his next one….

Brilliant Crime Comody
A very good book by Andrew Hunter Murray, filled with crime, crooked businessmen, mystery and of course humour. All of the characters are loveable and make the story a brilliant read that get you invested in what will happen next.
Also, the narrator is very good at using different accents. Made me chuckle at times.

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

An enjoyable book with an entertaining narrator
At first I was disappointed to realise Andy wasn’t narrating, but having finished I can confirm Phil Dunster was the perfect choice. He made this very fun to listen to.
As for the book itself, it’s a quirky, funny story with more than a little political commentary thrown in, making it a compelling summation of the current state of British politics and housing. The main four characters are a touch derivative, but in my opinion this adds to the charm, and they’re all quite likeable. The plot is clever and winding, and has you pointing the finger at every character before humbling you at the end with twists you don’t see coming.
This was very enjoyable, and I hope to read a sequel in the future.

An enjoyable fast paced story
The title intrigued me and sounds a bit different, and I am glad I listened to this past-paced and light-hearted whodunnit. The narrator, Al, is very likeable and I enjoyed all the twists and turns. Being set in London with trips to the Caribbean and the Cotswolds and tge coast was a good back drop and the narration was very good.
