Deadly Staplers, New Releases and Creaky Knees
13/12/2019 Duration: 28minWhat is Adam’s guilty pleasure? How many mystery books don’t have female victims? How long can two men talk about a TV show they haven’t seen and can Adam and Bob avoid talking about both sex and politics this episode? Adam Croft and Bob Daws answer these questions – and many more – on the latest episode. Skirting politics as best they can, the Partners discuss Adam’s latest release (see his shameless book recommendation below), mysteries without female victims, a new BBC show from the producers of Bodyguard and Traces – the new crime show based on an idea by Val McDermid – despite neither of them having watched it. However, Bob has seen Elizabeth Is Missing starring Glenda Jackson, and *LISTENER ALERT* it sparks a monologue about TV formats. Also, the upcoming Partners In Crime Christmas special is liberally foreshadowed. It’s coming your way in Christmas week – keep your podcatcher primed! ~ Moriarty ~ RECOMMENDATIONS In Plain Sight by Adam Croft https://www.kobo.com/ebook/in-plain-sight-78 Deep Dir

06/12/2019 Duration: 30minAre all bald crime writers gobby and succinct? Is a true crime not a true crime when its a podcast? Why has Bob never been to Newcastle until now and did the Partners In Crime predict the Bad Sex in Fiction Award winner?

John Harvey’s Pax was Joint winner of the Bad Sex in Fiction Award with Didier Decoin.* Bob is back from being a travelling actor – sorry – vagabond of the road, for now at least.

22/11/2019 Duration: 29minIf you briefly die, but are then resuscitated, does that wipe clean your debt to society? Why is audio fiction having a comeback?

Condoning Murder, Sordid Radio Tales and Feeling Bob’s Presence
08/11/2019 Duration: 30minAdrian is here again this week. Adam talks about the process of writing his new book, Absolution which came out this week. It’s a political thriller which echoes real events, perhaps more closely than he was happy with. This segues nicely into a news story about whether politicians have been watching true crime - or reading crime fiction. They also talk about whether or not crime writers approve of murder and answer – in great detail – their least favourite question: where do you get your ideas from? Bob may be away, but his presence is felt when his star turn in Alan Ayckbourn’s Ten Times Table is discussed. Stay tuned until the end of the episode where Adrian opens the door on the shocking goings on behind the scenes in the radio industry.~ Moriarty ~"Adrian’s" recommendation Absolution by Adam Croft and Steven Moore https://www.kobo.com/ebook/absolution-95 Don't forget your exclusive Partners in Crime discounts through Kobo.
