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, if that doesn't get you to listen.... ~ Moriarty ~ RECOMMENDATIONS The Puppet Master TV show on Netflix Just Another Liar by Mandy Byatt January's Patreon FREE book of the month from Kobo is Storm Deaths by Steve Orme To get this book and a different one every month for FREE, become a patron here: patreon.com/partnersincrimepodcast Or buy it here

Christmas Special AKA Squeeze it in Dec 24, 2021

Show notes

It's that most wonderful time of the year again. Yep, it's the Partners in Crime Christmas Special with Robert Daws and Adam Croft. So what's Christmassy about it? Well, viewers on Patreon will be able to see the amazing festively decorated studio, and Adam and Bob wearing Christmas hats (obviously). The episode also features a Christmas party (NOT a business meeting), at which Bob tries some non-alcoholic wine and refuses to eat parmesan cheese. They do at some point get on to crime fiction stuff. Adam goes through a screenrant.com article looking at the top ten most common tropes in murder mystery movies, Bob recommends a Nell (not Neil) Pattison audiobook and we hear which celebrities have been writing crime novels. Also in this week's episode we hear the outstanding Partners in Crime Christmas song (link to the video is below), Adam coughs a lot and Bob starts humming for no obvious reason. ~ Moriarty ~ Partners in Crime - Boom Boom Boom Boom!!

No flashing in this house Dec 07, 2021

Show notes

The world's best podcast is finally back. And so is Mr Robert Daws. He's finally decided it's time to stop hanging around with Sir Ian McKellen and slum it with his partner in crime, Adam Croft. In this episode, Adam reveals the shortlist for the 2021 An Post Irish Crime Fiction Book of the Year award, he goes through an interesting article on kottke.org looking at the ten rules of golden age detective fiction, while Bob recommends a French crime drama television show. Bonus material this week includes Adam and Bob comparing Christmas trees, the pair chatting about how they have both been extremely busy for very different reasons and Adam tries to break his record for the amount of emails he can clear while Bob is talking. It's obviously a lot. ~ Moriarty ~

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. It's Lost in America by A.S. French

During the war Sep 25, 2021

Show notes

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'. Yeah, I'm not sure either. ~ Moriarty ~ September's Patreon FREE book of the month from Kobo is Lost in America by A.S. French

Doing a Geordie Sep 10, 2021

Show notes

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
