Show notes

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.

Show notes

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.

Show notes

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.

Did Adam have a good birthday? When is he going to organise a bbq? And are the rumours about Bob doing some actual work true? To find out the answers, plus some other stuff, just listen to the latest episode of Partners in Crime with Robert Daws and Adam Croft. Adam reveals who won the Specsavers Debut Crime Novel Award, we hear that The Crime Writers Association has appointed Elly Griffiths to the role of booksellers champion and Bob tells us all about BBC crime drama Time. Our hosts have clearly been doing a fair bit of reading, as they recommend a good number of books (see below), while Patreon members get an exclusive look at Adam's jazzy shirt, which Bob seems to be rather jealous of. ~ Moriarty ~

Show notes

Would you like to hear Adam shamelessly advertise his new book? What about how he got on receiving his Covid jab? Or for a change, perhaps you might be interested in Bob moaning about the weather? If you like the sound of all that guff, then you're in the right place. Just listen to the latest episode of Partners in Crime with Robert Daws and Adam Croft. There's even some crime fiction chat. Bob tells us we should all be watching ITV's Innocent, Adam has a look through a thebookseller.com article which names all those on the shortlist for this year's Indie Book Awards and the pair chat about how editors often don't get enough credit. We hear about the new Angela Marsons book (see recommendations below), while Patreon members finally get to see our hosts back together again, including a first-look at Bobcam. ~ Moriarty ~

Show notes

Did Bob have a good birthday? How delicate is he feeling during this episode? And did Adam enjoy his first trip to the pub in months? 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. Bob recommends an Amanda Lees book, while thanks to a helpful podcast listener, Adam now knows what a water cooler looks like. ~ Moriarty ~

*** The Line of Duty chat is between 05:00 and 19:45 - so skip this part to avoid spoilers. But don't forget to come back once you've watched it! ***
