June 18, 2022 Absolutely roasting
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.

June 10, 2022 Bacon sandwiches
Adam Croft is joined by author and former police commander for Brighton and Hove, Graham Bartlett, on this week's episode of Partners in Crime.

The pair discuss Graham's debut novel Bad For Good, real police procedure versus dramatisation for books and television, and Graham gives us a frightening insight into the effects of real-life police funding cuts.

We also hear about the journey from fighting crime for real, to inventing fictional crime stories, while Adam takes us through a CrimeReads article looking at crime novels with a strong sense of place and inimitable atmosphere.

June 03, 2022 Very Tanned
Adam Croft returns from his holiday with another solo episode of Partners in Crime.

We hear that he is very tanned, Bob is still away doing a proper job somewhere and there are some exciting changes coming to the podcast very soon.

In the crime stuff , Adam tells us about Gillian McAllister's new book, he goes through a CrimeReads article focusing on the most unforgettable female leads in crime fiction and also looks at their books of the month.

Amazingly, Adam doesn't mention his new book this time, but he does tell us about a couple of Kobo recommendations that you can see below.

May 21, 2022 Ridiculously handsome
Adam Croft is back with another episode of Partners in Crime for your listening pleasure.

This week, Adam tells us about his trip to the theatre, he's looking forward to going on holiday and we missed the chance to give Bob the bumps for his birthday.

In crime fiction news, we hear about a panel being hosted by award-winning author Stuart Neville in Armagh (follow the link below to book tickets), ten reasons why Victorian England is the perfect setting for murder according to Crime Reads and Adam reveals the full line-up for the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival in Harrogate.

Adam also reads out some book recommendations from Kobo, but not before recommending his own new book Kiss of Death immediately at the start of the episode. Obviously.

Bob is away on a cruise ship or something, so Adam is here for another solo episode.

In this episode, we hear about a variety of longlists and shortlists (see the notes below), 8 fictional crime series for those that love Peaky Blinders and Adam chats about ITV's true crime drama The Thief, His Wife and the Canoe.

He also gives us an update on Bob's whereabouts and the possibility of him returning next week. I won't tell you what he said, you'll have to listen.

April 15, 2022 Frog in my throat
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.

The links Adam mentioned in the episode are below, as is our email address; we'd love you to get in touch!

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.

March 18, 2022 Robert Daws Chunters On
Great news everybody - It's time for episode 160 of Partners in Crime with Robert Daws and Adam Croft.

During this episode, we hear all about Adam's wonky settings, Bob struggles to pronounce things and the pair discuss a foot stool.

This is later interrupted by some crime fiction chat during which Bob talks about the potential problems with television and film adaptations, Adam discusses an Irish Times article investigating why there are so many Irish women crime writers and there are a number of book recommendations (see notes below).

Bonus chat this time includes precipitation, Adam's shiny head and the likely upcoming assassination of Bob.
