'Witty, wicked and whip-smart - Bad Deeds is the perfect page turner' ROSS MONTGOMERY 'Funny, thoughtful and intriguing, this is crime writing with an edge of biting wit that sets Andrew Hunter Murray in a class of his own' JANICE HALLETT ———————— Alex used to break into houses illegally. These days, it’s his job. Alex is part of a small firm of consultants who break into offices and homes to test their security. It’s fun, it’s well paid, and he’s very good at it. It’s almost like he’s grown up at last. But when he gets fired from his firm, evicted from his flat and dumped by his girlfriend, all in the same evening, he decides to steal one last job from his company without their knowing. A job they had already decided not to accept. Big mistake. Before long, Alex is in remote northern Scotland, following the trail of an ambitious young man who supposedly fell to his death with no witnesses in sight. And if Alex doesn’t get to the truth soon, he may well be the next one to go over the edge... ———————— Love for A Beginner's Guide to Breaking and 'Fantastic' Zoe Ball 'Madly fun and exciting' Lisa Jewell ‘Who knew murder could be so funny. A joyous read from start to finish. I loved it!’ Clare Mackintosh 'Witty, dazzling and incredibly addictive' Jenny Colgan 'It’s laugh-out-loud funny, proceeding at a pace that makes it almost impossible to put down.' Sunday Times 'A comic delight' Financial Times 'Smart, satirical, knowledgable, accurate, punchy, laugh out loud funny, surprising, shocking, thought provoking ... Loved it.' Matt Chorley, The Times
