Breaking and entering : a novel / Don Gillmor.
At 49, Beatrice Billings is rudderless. Her marriage is stale, her relationship with her son Thomas is strained, she carries on ongoing arguments with her older sister in her head, and her mother is in the early stages of dementia. When Bea discovers that she has both a talent and a passion for picking locks, the sense of anticipation that had been missing from her life returns. Breaking into other people's houses is a dangerous hobby that makes her feel alive - and so she begins the guilty analysis of other people's lives, and eventually, her own.
