Bad Deeds

By: Andrew Hunter Murray

Narrated by: Phil Dunster

Brought to you by Penguin.

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 over the edge...

Critic reviews

Witty, wicked and whip-smart - Bad Deeds is the perfect page turner for those who like their thillers with propulsive plots, rollicking action, and a serving of bone-dry satire. An absolute hoot!

Bad Deeds is a smart, page-turning romp that sees the ripples from one tiny not-quite-innocent action reach tidal wave proportions for its lively anti-hero. 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

A brilliant and wickedly entertaining murder mystery by a brilliant and wickedly entertaining author

Andrew Hunter Murray is always a joy to read - like having your funniest, wittiest friend to hand whenever you’re in the mood for a great story

Slow Horses meets The Gentleman! A fabulous cast of characters (honorary mention for the magnificently-named Poppy Philbrick and her pyjama line - *chef's kiss*), twisty and turny and also very dryly funny. I so so loved this book.
