Confusion abounds Apr 16, 2021

Show notes

Was Bob able drag himself inside from his sunbathing session to join Adam on this episode? What's his air drumming like? And what sort of texts does he receive from his co-host? 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. Thankfully, no-one told them and they are still alive. ~ Moriarty ~

Does Bob like Gordon Ramsay? How is he coping with the return of winter? And why has Adam been in custody in Luton Police Station? To find out the answers to these question and a whole lot more, listen to the latest episode of Partners in Crime with Adam Croft and Robert Daws. Adam chats about a walesonline.co.uk article which looks at the real life crime stories that inspire Line of Duty, our hosts discuss Ian Rankin's prediction that crime writing is about to be dramatically overhauled and Bob mentions a new ITV programme called Agatha & Poirot: Partners in Crime. The solicitor's letter is in the post already. Bob recommends and talks about the Netflix French mystery thriller series Lupin, while Adam reveals that he thinks real life is actually very boring. ~ Moriarty ~

What extravagant drink has Bob been sipping this week? Are Adam's gardening tips any good? And should our hosts start a spin-off weather podcast? For all this 'amazing' content and loads more, listen to episode 136 of Partners in Crime with Adam Croft and Robert Daws. We hear about a new upcoming ITV crime drama called Too Close, Adam reveals that Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club has passed one million copies sold and Bob recommends a Liane Moriarty book (I had to get that into the notes). Adam chats about Patricia Cornwell bringing back Dr Kay Scarpetta in her 25th book Autopsy, while Bob makes a rather shocking revelation. He's got some friends. ~ Moriarty ~

Have Adam and Bob had an exciting week? How many times will Peter James be mentioned in this episode? And just how funny is it when Adam keeps ruining Bob's pause for dramatic effect? Listen to this week's episode of Partners in Crime with Adam Croft and Robert Daws to find out. Adam chats about an Irish Times article on how US author Harlen Coben got on with writing his 33rd novel during a pandemic, Bob recommends an Alison Bruce book and we hear the fantastic news that the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival will be returning to Harrogate in the summer. Adam mentions a Daily Record article which reveals the surprising inspiration for Peter May's new thriller The Night Gate, while Bob attempts to do a Del Boy impression. Cushty. ~ Moriarty ~

Monkey flu Mar 12, 2021

Show notes

Would you like to know which Covid jab Bob got last week? Has he had enough coffee to get himself ready for the episode? And does Adam really look better by closing his blinds? You can find out the answers in this week's episode of Partners in Crime with Adam Croft and Robert Daws. Adam reveals how Ian Rankin upset some Scottish villagers, Bob has a look ahead to the upcoming ITV adaptation of Peter James' Roy Grace books and we hear why the same author is auctioning off his old desk. Fed up of our hosts hardly ever talking about crime fiction, a Patreon member gets in touch to make her own book recommendation and Bob comes up with a brand new intro for the podcast. But is it better than the theme tune? ~ Moriarty ~

Why is Bob running out of laptops? Will he stop fiddling with his phone and pay attention? And just how much are our hosts looking forward to being able to present the podcast from Adam's garden? Find out in this week's episode of Partners in Crime with Adam Croft and Robert Daws. Bob recommends we all go and listen to the podcast Obsessed With Line of Duty, Adam reveals how many people tuned in to Aberdeen's virtual crime writing festival Granite Noir and we hear all about another brilliant ITV crime drama. This week, it's McDonald & Dodds starring Tala Gouveia and Jason Watkins. Adam discusses a list.co.uk article in which actor John Simm reveals that he hopes ITV adapt all seventeen of Peter James' Roy Grace books, while Bob provides some in-depth, expert football analysis. Well, he talks about something called 'soccer' and the lack of an 'audience' during lockdown. ~ Moriarty ~

Would you like to hear Adam's excuse to avoid Valentine's Day? Maybe you want to know if he took an opportunity to use his own NAME DROP ALERT button? Or perhaps you're interested in hearing about Bob's new weekly feature? Well, you can hear it all in this week's episode of Partners in Crime with Adam Croft and Robert Daws. Bob recommends ITV crime drama Unforgotten, Adam chats about why Silence of the Lambs is still terrifying years later and we hear about Scandinavia's top crime fiction locations to visit. The pair discuss a Guardian article in which Val McDermid reveals how she survived in a male environment, while we discover that Adam actually has a friend.

Would you like to hear — for the first time ever — Bob being told he's too quiet? What happens when Adam's son James decides to invade the studio? And why does he call his Daddy, Jupiter? You can hear all this in the latest episode of Partners in Crime with Robert Daws and Adam Croft. Bob chats about Netflix and ITV drama Marcella, which is now on its third season, Adam informs us of a new NBC true-crime series called The Thing About Pam starring Renée Zellweger and our hosts discuss a Sydney Morning Herald article on how — after Donald Trump — nothing is too fantastic for crime writers. Bob recommends a Sarah Pearse book (see below), while the pair make post-lockdown plans to have a garden party and drinks with Patreon members. If that's not a reason to become a patron, I don't know what is. ~ Moriarty ~ RECOMMENDATIONS The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse https://www.kobo.com/en/ebook/the-sanatorium-1

Would you like to hear Adam and Bob reminisce about the days of recording the podcast outside? How about Bob getting excited about his new ethernet cable? Or perhaps you'd prefer some discussion about the sort of tattoos our hosts should get?

Well, you don't have to choose because it's all coming up in the latest episode of Partners in Crime with Robert Daws and Adam Croft.

Bob discusses an article in The Times Crime Club about publishers not talking to each other, resulting in messy release dates, Adam goes through Joanna Schaffhausen's ten most dynamic detective duos in crime fiction and we hear which books inspired the hit Netflix show Lupin.

Our hosts let us know how they got on playing a new murder mystery card game (more details below), Bob finally recommends something available on Kobo and I improve the content massively by making two impressive cameo appearances during the episode.
