Description 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. __________ Praise for A Beginner’s Guide to Breaking and Entering . . . ‘A propulsive plot, an ingenious narrator and lashings of intrigue make this a genuine and thoroughly enjoyable page-turner.’ Guardian ‘It’s laugh-out-loud funny, proceeding at a pace that makes it almost impossible to put down.’ Sunday Times ‘Madly fun and exciting’ Lisa Jewell ‘Who knew murder could be so funny.
