What would it take to get Adam to a pantomime? Does anyone remember when one of the Chuckle Brothers died? Who is considering a move to Iceland and what mischief is Adrian Hobart up to?
On this very special year in review episode Adam Croft and Robert Daws answer these questions whilst discussing 2019’s happenings in crime fiction. Well, sort of.
The Partners also discuss the New York Times list of the best crime novels of the year, the upcoming Scandi Noir TV series – Wisting, the festive bookish habits of Icelanders and their own Christmas plans. 
This episode also debuts a dramatic performance of the latest Adam Croft masterpiece: ’Twas the Podcast Before Christmas.

Adam Croft and Graham Bartlett bring you another episode of Partners in Crime while we eagerly await the return of Robert Daws.
 


Adam reveals he is now a big time superstar as he appears in both local media and on a menu, while he also mentions numerous times (again) he is going on holiday (again) next week.
 


Graham tells us about his night out at the Crime Writers Association Daggers awards, gives an insight into The Met being put into special measures after Adam found a BBC article on the subject, and we hear what it was like for Graham in his first week as a published crime writer.  
 


Adam also talks about his first ever visit to an escape room. Did he get out in time? Have a listen to the podcast to find out.

Chorizo, salami and Parma ham

Adam Croft is joined again by Graham Bartlett on this episode of Partners in Crime.
Graham tells us how crazy it has been during launch week for his new book Bad For Good, he reveals what not to do if you are driving a stolen car and the pair wonder what an episode co-hosted with Peter Shilton would be like.
Adam has the shortlist for the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year, talks about an upcoming detective television show called The Whites which stars Ethan Hawke, and reveals more Kobo book recommendations.
We also hear that Adam is going on yet another holiday (someone's doing well), while Graham reveals he was a late spurter.

Ploughing through

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.

Absolutely roasting

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.

Bacon sandwiches

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.
