This book is so much fun! Very cleverly written - stunning debut and I look forward to more from the author!

This was a great book, fresh and unique and one I really enjoyed, I read it in one sitting and couldn’t put it down, one to look out for!!!

I absolutely loved the first few chapters of this title. I wasn't expecting the cosy crime vibes that followed, but I enjoyed them. It's a very fresh plot, with plenty of wit and humour weaved through. Great storytelling and I would definitely recommend this book to any fans of Hannah Hendy and the other cosy crime greats.

I struggled with this book - I found it slow to start with although I did become more invested as the interlopers found out more about the activities of their murder victim.

We start the book with Al in prison - the book explains how he became embroiled with three other interlopers and their investigations to clear their names. His rules are broken with inevitable disastrous results. His cover is blown and he has to face himself and his life choices for the first time.

I liked the premise of Interloping but did not find the background to the initial murder wholly convincing.

I totally loved this book! So funny at times that I literally did laugh out loud. It was extremely well written, and the amount of research that must have gone into it is incredible. One of my favourite reads of the year so far. Brilliant, and highly recommended. Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for the early copy.

Al lives the life many of us could only dream about: House sitting in the homes of the wealthy and privileged,while they are away and non the wiser. He outlines his principals as a set of rules which include not stealing anything or destroying items, no he treats the homes as if they were his. Another principal he has is that he always works alone. That is until during one day he makes a series of mistakes which takes him back to one of his old homes. Once there he realises that there are other people who do what he does; Freeload. Against his better judgement and rules he joins them and embarks on an adventure that will see some very funny dramas, mishaps and even murder as the gang attempt to clear their names whilst taking on corrupt police.

The book opens with Al as he spends time in prison and quickly takes us to the events which have led him there.. The writing is refreshingly witty and Murray's style and character development are second to none. Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read this in advance.

Al is living the dream in a number of big, fancy houses. The only problem is, none of them are his. He is an undetectable squatter, and is getting away with it thanks to his list of rules. Until suddenly things start to go wrong, and then from bad to worse ... And before he knows it, there is a dead body.

This is such a clever and well written book, with brilliant characters and an excellent sense of humour. The murder mystery did start to drag a bit around the middle, but I loved the final twist! I do hope we see Al again some day ...

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review

A very entertaining thriller whose argument revolves around a number of hot issues (property market, laundering money, foreign dodgy governments...) in a humorous, quirky style. The main characters are young, intelligent and bonkers., the setting is believably conveyed, dialogue fun. A good read! I would be reading a sequel and I hope I do.

What a wonderfully enjoyable read! I’m a fan of Caimh McDonnell’s writing and this had a similar style and content - fast paced, witty, self deprecating humour and a bunch of colourful characters. Yes, it got a little more far fetched as time went on, but this is fiction, just go with it and enjoy the tale.

A light read with a unique premise that will leave you smiling.
Al (not his real name), unbeknown to the owners, stays in people’s luxurious homes when they are away. He terms himself an ‘interloper’. During one of these stays one owner turns up unexpectedly and the plot develops from there.
This novel has a great blend characters that are likeable, engaging and well developed. The growing relationship between Al, Em, Elle and Jonny makes for a compelling read.
Told in the first person by Al (MC), it’s fun, fast paced and humorous .
The plot is well conceived, entertaining and at times totally intriguing.
Overall, this was well written, witty and quirky.
Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley UK for the ARC.

A fabulously written gripping story that was a pleasure to read. I would absolutely recommend this book, it was brilliant

Al breaks into houses. He doesn’t do it to steal.. He does it to have a place to stay. When he leaves, the house will be exactly as he found it on entering the property. When he discovers people are doing a similar sort of thing to him, he decides to go along with their methods and join them for once.

However, on the first property they enter they are greeted by the owner in an agitated state. His friends have obviously not done the reconnaissance that he would’ve done. Now the owner is dead. Al and his friends must try to discover who could’ve wanted this person dead in order to save themselves.

I really enjoyed this book, and it gave me an insight into the way. Other people may live. I was gripped to the very end and certainly didn’t figure out the guilty person a book, well worth reading .

Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to see DRC

This was a really hard book for me to stick with. The style of writing is not for me but I can see why it would be good for others.
The story just seems a little boring and don’t grip me like I expected it too.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Random House UK and Andrew Hunter Murray for my ARC of ‘A Beginner’s Guide to Breaking and Entering’.

A thoroughly entertaining read which was different to my usual but well worth it.

Al spends his life living in other people’s houses while they are away. He doesn’t take anything and considers it fair game.

Then it all goes wrong.

Highly recommended

Book's engaging; can't put it down.
The characters are very British.
The story's fun, exciting, and surprising.

Thanks to PRH & Net Galley for this early copy! I though this was brilliant! I really liked the look of the cover and the description sounded right up my street. Safe to say i wasn't disappointed and thoroughly enjoyed this clever, funny and witty plot. It has a great cast of characters and fantastic style of writing. It was great reading from the main character, Al’s, point of view and you can’t help but be taken along for a ride on this one! Would love for this to form some part of a series and am looking forward to seeing this publish next April!

We join Al as he's spending some time at His Majesty's Pleasure. But how did an "interloper" who spends his life staying in rich people's empty houses, without their knowledge of course, end up in prison?

Al takes us on a story of murder, dodgy business deals and an expensive house or two. And reminds us why we should ALWAYS follow the rules.

This was an enjoyable and fun read of adventure and misadventure with twists and turns thrown in for good measure.

A fun read about the main character Al who lives in wealthy people's second homes while their real owners are away…. That is until Al and his “co-workers” Elle, Em and Jonny stumble onto a murder.
I really enjoyed this story, it’s an easy and quirky read

Excellent. Fast-paced. Tongue-in-cheek humour. A very different novel that had me on the edge of the seat, Highly recommended.

A good, fun read. I loved the characters, and the convoluted plot. I will definitely look out for other books by this author,
