Loved it. ' Matt Chorley, The Times__________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. __________Readers love A Beginner's Guide .
