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.

Loved the characters. I miss them now that the story is done. Sequel, AHM?

Everything. Such a great story and read so well by Phil Dunster. Can’t wait to read Andrew Hunter Murray’s other books!

Entertaining & surprising plot twists

Phil Dunster’s read of the story with many character voices made this wonderful, quirky book even better. This book was quite funny , which was surprising & had so many twists & turns. Phil Dunster needs to read more books for Audible. Is there anything he can’t do well? A fun listen !!!

Binge worthy

Thoroughly entertaining. Lovely characters. Enjoyable twisty plot. Exactly what I hoped it would be and then some.
And then, what an exquisite performance by Phill Dunster!

Interloping is not a crime!

Al is an "interloper". He's coined this name for his practice making unauthorized stays in unoccupied mansions. Al might be right to give this kind of "squatting" a new name. He doesn't stay long and he doesn't leave a trace. He ALSO doesn't have a trace of a social life. He's blowing in the wind—one lonely, carefully reconnoitered mansion after another. However, If he really wanted to live an uneventful life, he probably shouldn't have picked such a risky way of finding a pillow to lay his head on.

Al is about to find out just how far the rich have gone to get that big mansion-and keep it. And it's all because he left a coaster out on the coffee table. Somebody else's coaster, on somebody else's coffee table, in somebody else's house.

The rich don't tolerate interlopers. They're playing for keeps. For Al to survive the rich, he's going to need some friends, and interlopers don't have friends.
