Adam Croft is joined again by Graham Bartlett on this episode of Partners in Crime.

Graham tells us how crazy it has been during launch week for his new book Bad For Good, he reveals what not to do if you are driving a stolen car and the pair wonder what an episode co-hosted with Peter Shilton would be like.

Adam has the shortlist for the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year, talks about an upcoming detective television show called The Whites which stars Ethan Hawke, and reveals more Kobo book recommendations.

We also hear that Adam is going on yet another holiday (someone's doing well), while Graham reveals he was a late spurter.

Absolutely roasting Jun 18, 2022

On this week's episode of Partners in Crime, Adam Croft is joined once again by Graham Bartlett, former detective superintendent of Sussex Police.

Unsurprisingly, the subject of real life crime is discussed again, with Adam sparking things off by mentioning a Daily Mail article about knife crime.

Also in the episode, we hear about the McIlvanney Prize longlist courtesy of CrimeReads, Adam mentions a crime related episode of Who Do You Think You Are featuring Richard Osman, while Graham tells us we should all be watching BBC crime drama Sherwood.

Adam also has a look at a Daily Record article which reveals the first names of people most likely to be criminals. So have a listen to hear if you're on it. And no, I'm not.

Frog in my throat Apr 15, 2022

Adam Croft is here once again to save the day by doing episode 162 of Partners in Crime on his own while Bob is away rehearsing. That's the excuse he's given us anyway. We hear about a Lynda La Plante Q&A in the New Statesman, the nine best fictional films and shows based on real-life crimes according to Collider, and Adam gives us this week's Kobo recommendations. He also reads out some emails from listeners who are more than happy for Adam to present the podcast on his own. That's not to say they don't like Bob or that he waffles on a lot, but more of a compliment towards Adam. At least I think so anyway.

One man show Apr 09, 2022

Hello all. Bob is away, but I didn't think we should have three weeks without an episode, so I made Adam do one. It's shorter than normal, but I think it's much better than nothing at all.

So what can you expect to hear in episode 161?

Adam discusses Waterstones' £5,000 debut fiction prize, has a look at the five novels Paula Hawkins recommends in CrimeReads with criminal acts at their heart, and reveals this week's book recommendations from Kobo.

He also reads out some correspondence from a listener who offers their opinion on Amazon Prime's TV crime thriller Reacher, briefly mentions the weather and makes fun of Bob. Which is his fault for not being here.

Adam Croft and Robert Daws return for episode 159 of Partners in Crime. Bob explains he hasn't been able to watch much television or read any books since the last episode, but he doesn't let that hinder his contribution, as he recommends an audiobook and a true crime documentary. In fact, he manages to discuss the latter for a full eight minutes. Meanwhile, our hosts discuss an article from The Herald, in which author James Oswald admits he questioned whether he could continue writing about the police, after their heavy-handed response to the Sarah Everard vigil, and Adam reveals some of the crime fiction stars already lined up to appear at the Theakston Old Peculiar Crime Writing Festival in the summer. Bonus material this time includes an email from a listener who got in touch to share how much he loved the mattress content in the last episode, and will no doubt have been thrilled at Adam's revelation that he too has now purchased a new mattress.

Back log Jan 28, 2022

After just over a month without your favourite crime fiction podcast, you can now rest easy as Adam Croft and Robert Daws return to your ears (and your eyes if you're a Patreon member). Partners in Crime is finally back. In this latest episode, we hear Bob is having a go at dry January (Adam certainly isn't), a sea monster has been found in Rutland and Adam reveals he's got a new book on the way because he's getting a bit hard up. The pair discuss an article from The Scotsman which reveals the rather controversial method a certain high-street shop uses for its book charts, Bob recommends a television show and Adam reads out an email from a listener asking the question, 'is Doctor Who a police procedural?' Back on the subject of charts, we hear this very podcast is doing extremely well in that department, while Bob somehow gets on to the subject of having a prostate exam.

Well, viewers on Patreon will be able to see the amazing festively decorated studio, and Adam and Bob wearing Christmas hats (obviously).

Writing crime and tackling mental illness with David Mark Oct 22, 2021

In this special episode of Partners in Crime, Adam chats to best-selling author David Mark about his new book Piece of Mind (link below), which is David's memoir about living with severe mental illness and is an honest account of living with many harrowing conditions.

They discuss his lowest moments, David tries to recall when he first noticed he was suffering and explains how it feels to live his life with mental illness.

We also hear about his teenage years in which he had to deal with his father suffering from depression, they talk about things you shouldn't say to those with the condition and David tells us about the time an idea for a novel stopped him from walking to a place where he was thinking about ending his life.

Adrian Hobart once again joins Adam in the absence of Bob for this week's podcast, in which the pair compare colds. We hear that Adrian is just getting over his, but unfortunately for Adam, it looks like the worst is yet to come. When our hosts finally start talking about crime fiction stuff, Adam reveals how Richard Osman's second novel did sales-wise (I wont do a spoiler, but I think you can probably guess it wasn't bad news), and we hear that despite all Osman's success, he still gets upset by bad reviews. Adrian tells us about a possible paper shortage in the book-printing world, while Adam takes a look at an Entertainment Daily article previewing 'the next big crime drama on BBC One'. Also in the podcast, Adam and Adrian have a coughing contest, while the latter reveals he effing loves submarines. ~ Moriarty ~ October's Patreon FREE book of the month from Kobo is Overboard by Ivy Ngeow. https://www.kobo.com/en/ebook/overboard-20 September's FREE book of the month is available until October 7th.

Still awaiting the return of Bob next month, Adrian Hobart continues to sit in the hot seat and tells us all about his visit to Old Trafford to see his team lose to West Ham. I suppose I should have guessed he's a Manchester United fan with that accent. Our hosts have a little discussion on politics, while we hear which films Adrian has been watching last week. In crime fiction related stuff, Adam reveals which detective comedy-drama is getting a spin-off and how you can watch it, Adrian talks about his trip to crime writing festival Bloody Scotland and the pair have an interesting discussion on how writers might handle the current pandemic in their novels. Does it need to be referenced? Have a listen to hear their thoughts. Also in the podcast, Adam reveals the winner of the McIlvanney Prize, while Adrian describes how he's often 'honking around'.

In this week's episode, Adrian Hobart continues to stand in for the gallivanting Bob, and vows to try and keep his name-dropping to a minimum. Adam goes through the history of Mr. Men books, while our hosts discuss the random two hot days we are having. I couldn't work out if they were complaining or are happy about it. Maybe you can decide? They do manage to get some crime fiction in too. Adam reveals who the latest famous author is to sign up for subscription newsletter platform Substack, Adrian has some exciting news about Agatha Christie's Miss Marple series and we hear all about the online BAD Sydney crime writing festival. Adam deliberates about how to send his son to school with many items when he isn't allowed a rucksack, while Adrian shows off his accent of the week, and yes, that's what the title is all about. Not what you were thinking. ~ Moriarty ~ September's Patreon FREE book of the month from Kobo is Lost in America by A.S. French

Great big whoppers Sep 04, 2021

In episode 149 of Partners in Crime there is no Bob. He's away filming, so Adrian Hobart joins Adam for this podcast, and most likely the rest of September. Adrian tries to not let the side down by getting in his own name-drops, which includes the time he gave Ian Rankin a mug.

There's also a bit of crime fiction stuff. Adam talks about some big names missing out on the shortlist for the McIlvanney Prize, we hear how a former MP turned crime writer is loving literary events and Adrian gives us a little insight into the discussions that go on between publishers and writers. That last one is a lot more interesting than I've made it sound. Viewers on Patreon can see Adrian's fancy studio that made Adam very jealous, while our guest host continues to impress by showing off his range of accents, including some of The Beatles. He can't do Ringo though.

Dropping babies Aug 20, 2021

In this week's episode our hosts revert back to the traditional format of starting with some weather chat, which obviously includes some moaning about the British summer. The pair also go through some poor excuses for missing podcasts, and even blame me for last week. Ok I'll give them that one, it was my fault.

Also in the podcast, Adam has a look at some crime fiction titles added to streaming service Britbox, Bob talks about a new crime drama premiering on Alibi this week and there's a discussion about the theatre industry slowly getting back on it's feet. Bob wonders if Patreon members would like to see his six-pack, while Adam reveals he only washes once a year. Eww.

In this week's episode we hear how one of our hosts made their theatre debut as a camel's backside, Adam attempts to remember how many years he's been married and Bob tells us he spent most of last week in a luxury hotel.

Adam reveals the winner of the Theakston Old Peculiar Crime Novel of the Year, Bob talks about a French-Belgian supernatural thriller TV show and we hear about the new book from Stephen King. Bob does the unthinkable and talks about another podcast, while Adam is already counting down the days until the end of the school holidays.

A nice Bic biro in green Jul 24, 2021

In this week's podcast our hosts discuss the fact both have been pinged, how many antihistamines Bob has taken today and Adam reveals his new technique on how to spot an idiot.

If that all sounds fascinating, then you should listen to the latest episode of Partners in Crime with Adam Croft and Robert Daws. Bob recommends a Lisa Stone audiobook, Adam reveals which legendary writer is the focus of this year's Montblanc Writers Edition pen and we hear that a blockbusting tv crime drama is coming to an end. The pair have a semi-serious chat about wearing masks, they have a bit of a moan about it being too hot and Adam horrifies Bob by telling him he's about to take his clothes off.

To find out the answers, listen to the latest episode of Partners in Crime with Robert Daws and Adam Croft. Our hosts have an argument about the controversial last episode in the series of Line of Duty (see the notes below on how to avoid the spoilers), Bob talks about new American crime drama Mare of Easttown and Adam takes us through the winners of the 2021 Edgar Allan Poe Awards.

Mary, Mungo, Midge and the wee donkey Apr 30, 2021

Would you like to hear Bob complain about having long-covid? How about his excuse for causing the cancelation of last week's episode? Slight spoiler to the second question - he's claiming to be an actor or something. To hear more made up rubbish like that and maybe some crime fiction chat, listen to the latest episode of Partners in Crime with Adam Croft and Robert Daws. Bob mentions a review of the latest series of Line of Duty, which of course leads to a lengthy chat about the show, Adam goes through some of the nominations in the 2021 Crime Writers' Association Dagger awards longlist and also shows off the first printed copy of his new book In Cold Blood (see notes below how to pre-order). Our hosts wish Ian Rankin a very happy birthday, while Bob provides slightly too much information about what he gets up to between podcast recordings. ~ Moriarty ~

**To pre-order paperback copies of Adam's new book In Cold Blood, head to https://www.adamcroft.net/shop-local/ to see which independent retails are able to post out copies (marked with asterisk). Or if you're local, just pop in to any on the list.

The rest of these notes are a bit of a spoiler to the first question, but to find out the answers to the rest, listen to the latest episode of Partners in Crime with Adam Croft and Robert Daws. Talking of spoilers, Bob mentions an online Line of Duty script leak, but thankfully doesn't give anything away, Adam goes through a cbr.com list recommending new thriller tv shows and movies to watch in April and our hosts discuss an Independent article which reveals Lynda La Plante finds the dramatic licence of many other police dramas preposterous. Bob recommends a Kotaro Isaka book and taking the podcast theme a bit too literally, he decides to kill off a former Partners in Crime guest.

How has Adam coped with setting up an outside studio in the wind and rain? How will he manage being interrupted by an aeroplane, a train and a fly?

Bob is away this week, so to find out all this and more, listen to the latest episode of Partners in Crime with Adam Croft and Adrian Hobart.

Adam has the shortlist for the Bloody Scotland Debut Crime Book of the Year, mentions a new true crime podcast hosted by Michael Caine and tells us all about an Irish Times article in which Lee Child reveals he doesn't like Jack Reacher that much.

With Bob being otherwise engaged this week, he needs someone else to promote his book and Adrian is happy to oblige. Isn't it a spot of luck that Bob is signed to Adrian's new publishing company? Adrian also shares his Michael Caine impression with us and it's actually quite good.

100 not out – LIVE! Apr 12, 2020

Yes, we’ve reached the milestone of 100 episodes. Well Adam has. Bob – for very legitimate reasons – was unable to be there for the recording of this episode. Get well soon, Bob.

This episode was live broadcast as a video on both YouTube and Facebook live and you’ll be missing out on some rather special visuals if you just listen to the audio. The episode is still available to watch on YouTube and on Facebook.

Either keep listening or clink the link to start watching. Not only will you see (or hear) Adam presenting the show solo, but you’ll also be privy some trips down memory lane from previous filmed shows. There are video messages from past guests, guest hosts and well-wishers like Mark Bllingham, Lynda La Plante, Louise Jensen, Rachel Amphlett, Angela Marsons, Adrian Hobart, Graham Bartlett, Vaseem Khan, Elly Griffiths, Gillian McAllister and many more.

Deadly Staplers, New Releases and Creaky Knees Dec 13, 2019

What is Adam’s guilty pleasure? How many mystery books don’t have female victims? How long can two men talk about a TV show they haven’t seen and can Adam and Bob avoid talking about both sex and politics this episode?

Adam Croft and Bob Daws answer these questions – and many more – on the latest episode.

Skirting politics as best they can, the Partners discuss Adam’s latest release (see his shameless book recommendation below), mysteries without female victims, a new BBC show from the producers of Bodyguard and Traces – the new crime show based on an idea by Val McDermid – despite neither of them having watched it. However, Bob has seen Elizabeth Is Missing starring Glenda Jackson, and *LISTENER ALERT* it sparks a monologue about TV formats.

Also, the upcoming Partners In Crime Christmas special is liberally foreshadowed. It’s coming your way in Christmas week – keep your podcatcher primed!

A Gobby Crime Writer and a Vagabond of the Road Dec 06, 2019

Are all bald crime writers gobby and succinct? Is a true crime not a true crime when its a podcast? Why has Bob never been to Newcastle until now and did the Partners In Crime predict the Bad Sex in Fiction Award winner?

Adam Croft and returning host Bob Daws answer these pressing crime related questions on the latest episode.

*Spoiler for the last question: yes they did. John Harvey’s Pax was Joint winner of the Bad Sex in Fiction Award with Didier Decoin.*

Bob is back from being a travelling actor – sorry – vagabond of the road, for now at least. To celebrate, he uses his impressive acting talents on John Harvey’s entry in the Bad Sex in Fiction Award. Brace yourselves listeners, this rendition is not to be missed.

Adam has his OCD tendencies exposed and also realises that he has much in common with James Ellroy.

Also discussed are Sky Crime’s The Disappearance of Susan Cox Powell, Martin Scorsese’s Netflix crime drama, The Irishman and True-Crime Podcast Angel of Vine.

Adam Croft and regular guest presenter Adrian Hobart do their best to answer these pressing crime related questions in the latest episode.

Adrian has been checking out greasy spoons while his sons do parkrun. Stay tuned for the first instalment of Adrian Hobart’s Restaurant Recommendations.

Meanwhile Adam has been scouring the crime news headlines for stories to talk about. He gives a rundown of the best crime fiction from Georgia, tells us why Lee Child is applying for an Irish passport and what new TV show Harrison Ford is appearing in.

Adam Croft and guest host Adrian Hobart answer these questions – except perhaps the last – on this week’s episode.

Adrian’s been in glamorous but grubby Brighton, researching his new book. He gives us the lowdown on his visit to the seaside, tempting Adam with the lure of budget narcotics. Adam has been thinking about the detective-like overtones of the recent Prince Andrew interview on Newsnight. They also discuss the golden age of detective fiction, what’s on the Brit box and YouTube rabbit holes.

Condoning Murder, Sordid Radio Tales and Feeling Bob’s Presence Nov 08, 2019

Adrian is here again this week. Adam talks about the process of writing his new book, Absolution which came out this week. It’s a political thriller which echoes real events, perhaps more closely than he was happy with. This segues nicely into a news story about whether politicians have been watching true crime - or reading crime fiction. They also talk about whether or not crime writers approve of murder and answer – in great detail – their least favourite question: where do you get your ideas from? Bob may be away, but his presence is felt when his star turn in Alan Ayckbourn’s Ten Times Table is discussed. Stay tuned until the end of the episode where Adrian opens the door on the shocking goings on behind the scenes in the radio industry.

It's true crime week this week. And they're definitely not going to talk about political crimes… except when they do! Here's an important question, though. Why are so few women writing political thrillers? And when is Adam going to write the book about his murderous ancestor?

Obstruction of justice, locked room mysteries and that man over the road Jul 19, 2019

Bob is MIA today. But fear not, the sensational Rachel Amphlett is in the hot seat... Careful Bob, Rachel's getting rather used to that chair. We're all about the locked room mysteries this week, summer crime lists and a spot of authorly obstruction of justice. Oh and that man over the road...

Disappearing up vortexes, dragon's pen and the longest monologue from Bob EVER Jul 12, 2019

The Partners in Crime are back and this week Bob delivers a villain-length monologue about some lit festival. Adam and Bob narrowly avoid disappearing up their own vortex, there's a dragon's pen (yes, that is a play on words), there's email faux pas, tax dodging and the possibility of an author driven drug run in Mexico... Oh, and the lovely Steve Moore – Adam's new co-author – makes a guest appearance.

GlaRRRstonbury, high horses and book snobbery Jun 28, 2019

The boys are back and this week they're 'horsing' around with book snobbery and a dose of overly British weather chat. To my delight, Bob and Croft have both watched Killing Eve, though there's an imposter in the ranks. Who the hell is Lianne Moriarty and why has she stolen my name? But more importantly, does anyone know what GlaRRRstonbury is and where I can get a ticket?

The one where Moriarty interrupts the broadcast Jun 21, 2019

Bob's decided to grace us with his presence this week. Adam's walking the plank en route to watch a production of his very own play (how posh!). There are June crime reads and I interrupt the broadcast for a breaking news announcement... STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING and go watch Killing Eve season 2.

Missing Bob, self care and casual Chernobyl trips Jun 14, 2019

This week Bob is MIA. So the lovely Rachel Amphlett is back in the pod seat with Mr. Croft. They're talking about crime fiction as self-care and in the process, trying to scam themselves a trip to the Maldives... or perhaps Chernobyl, I doubt they're fussy.

To my surprise, the boys actually bothered to turn up this week. A rather cute Mini Croft makes an appearance too. Bob's been to Agatha's gaff and is also dabbling in a spot of distinctly average foley sound effects. It's also someone's birthday this week... Three cheers for Adam who's one year closer to death.

And they're also diving into some of their classic crime faves. Bob's also rather excited about the new theatre production of Girl on the Train.

Bob's mum makes a second cameo this week... I personally think they ought to get her on the show. Oh, and they're both obsessing over the latest crime awards listing.

They explore the 'tortured detective', challenging the cliché – or maybe it's a trope. And then there's me... your weekly dose of sarcastic show notes writing. But who am I?
