Simon Mayo and Matt Williams invite the world’s finest authors in for a chat.
Author, podcaster and QI legend – Andy Hunter Murray – joins Simon and Matt for a natter about his latest novel, ‘A Beginner’s Guide To Breaking And Entering’
They chat about his inspirations for the book, the anger behind it, how to make a social commentary through comedy – and why a character in the book hates Magic FM so much!
Here’s the book blurb:
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.
