About this listen
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.

"Page turner" or sleep timer resetter
A great story excellently composed and well delivered by the narrator. Not sure how there could be a second book in the series but I'd listern to it if there was.

A Somewhat Accurate Depiction of British Undercurrents
I quite honestly forgot who the author was. I of course mean that with no offence but it was absolutely sidewinding to consider this from Andrew Hunter Murray. A thrilling, dedicated telling of a small fish perspective with plenty of little pessimistic scoffs at the larger pond. Believable characters, descriptive scenery and a fitting pacing. I will be reccomending this to friends and family.

Entertaining.
I got this as a Daily Deal the first Andrew Hunter Murray book I've listened to and I'd certainly read more. Well written with quirky characters. Al is writing his story in prison and recounting the circumstances that got him there. Very funny with some laugh out loud moments. Phil Dunsters narration was excellent.

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.
