Acerca de esta escucha
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.

From sport's weirdest rules to its most unlikely heroes, via comically large cricket bats, pole-vaulting priests, creative football chants and exploding billiard balls, each chapter of Everything to Play For is brimming with surprising facts and intriguing stories. Even if you've never asked yourself what David Attenborough has to do with yellow tennis balls, why Victorian doctors feared the outbreak of 'bicycle face' or what led ancient Egyptian athletes to have their spleens removed, this book will give you the astonishing answers - and plenty more besides.

1887. London, but not as you know it. The Industrial Revolution went further than anyone could have imagined, and the sprawling, chaotic metropolis of Even Greater London spreads across the entire southern half of England. The immense Tower casts electricity through the sky, powering the mind-boggling mechanisms of the city around it. The engineer-army of Isambard Kingdom Brunel swarms across the capital, building, demolishing, and rebuilding whatever they see fit. And at the heart of all this sits the country's first Private Investigation Agency.

It is 2059, and the world has crashed. Forty years ago, a solar catastrophe began to slow the planet's rotation to a stop. Now, one half of the globe is permanently sunlit, the other half trapped in an endless night. Ellen Hopper is a scientist living on a frostbitten rig in the cold Atlantic. She wants nothing more to do with her country after its slide into casual violence and brutal authoritarianism. Yet when two government officials arrive demanding she return to London to see her dying college mentor, she accepts—and begins to unravel a secret.

On the island of Sicily amid the Peloponnesian War, the Syracusans have figured out what to do with the surviving Athenians who had the gall to invade their city: they’ve herded the sorry prisoners of war into a rock quarry and left them to rot. Looking for a way to pass the time, Lampo and Gelon, two unemployed potters with a soft spot for poetry and drink, head down into the quarry to feed the Athenians if, and only if, they can manage a few choice lines from their great playwright Euripides. Before long, the two mates hatch a plan to direct a full-blown production of Medea.

As the child of a Hooters waitress and an ex-pro wrestler, Margo Millet's always known she’d have to make it on her own. So she enrolls at her local junior college, even though she can’t imagine how she’ll ever make a living. She’s still figuring things out and never planned to have an affair with her English professor—and while the affair is brief, it isn’t brief enough to keep her from getting pregnant. Despite everyone’s advice, she decides to keep the baby, mostly out of naiveté and a yearning for something bigger.

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 !!!

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.

I actually can’t easily summarize why this is one of my new favorite books
Okay…a weird lifestyle. People finding friends. A bit of cozy mystery antics. Social commentary. Humor. How the hell can a person put all this into words that do it justice.
This one was a romp, a delight, and made me cackle out loud several times, and smile even more times. Beautiful, beautiful, funny, clever writing
