Today’s podcast stars FAN OF THE PODCAST author Rob Parker, who has written an

astonishing 25 books and has just released the first in a new series of crime novels set right here in Shuck’s Own County.

If you buy The Troubled Deep, we suggest you head to the very end of the book, not to

solve the mystery, but to read the effusive credit to the Norfolk Folklore Society. Rob

contacted us several years ago to ask if we minded him taking the concept of our podcast, changing it and creating brand new podcasters based on what we do (loosely based, we are far less thorough and thankfully no longer work at a local newspaper!) and we were agreeable, potentially for the first time in our lives.

The Troubled Deep is perfect for fans of Ann Cleeves, Peter James, and Elly Griffiths (who also credited us in her books, JUST SAYING) - a propulsive crime thriller and a love letter to Norfolk. It follows Cam Killick, an ex-SBS diver whose PTSD finds solace underwater. When he discovers a submerged car tied to a 30-year-old mystery, he’s drawn into a dangerous web of secrets that some would kill to keep buried. It’s thrilling, atmospheric, and undeniably NORFOLK.

If you know the county, you will recognise SO many places in the book. Rob was such an easy interviewee and is, joyfully, as in love with Norfolk and our folklore and general

weirdness as we are. A twin soul.

Find out: what Rob’s favourite NFS story is, why he loves Norfolk and, most importantly,

what he thinks is more terrifying: a dog-headed monk or a monk-headed dog.

We hope you enjoy, lots of love,

Stacia and Siofra
