This is a ‘cosy mystery’ type story about a young man who illegally lives in rich people’s fancy houses when he knows they are going to be away for a while. Even though it is illegal, he doesn’t steal anything or hurt anybody, so feels it’s actually redressing a moral balance. Unfortunately he gets caught up in a murder mystery and has to join with some other ‘unofficial house-sitters’ to solve the crime and clear his name.
I liked it to begin with, but then I must say I got a bit bored – a lot of young people being awkward and finding their way – very sweet and all, but I’m like, I’m too old to be bothered with all this. I almost gave up on it, but I stuck it out and it did actually pick up again towards the end so I didn’t hate it completely.
