'Crime Time Inc' – an evening with Simon McLean and Tom Wood

People are being offered the chance to get clued-up on the world of detectives, wrongdoers and real-life 'whodunnits'.

Milngavie Library will be hosting 'Crime Time Inc' – an evening with Simon McLean and Tom Wood – on Thursday 5 November 2026, from 6pm-7.30pm.

It's a chance to hear the two former detectives – both now popular writers – talk about their experiences, insights and unexpected encounters solving crimes and sleuthing for clues. The special event will also be recorded for a podcast.

Entry is free, with tea and coffee provided, but you need to reserve a place online via eventbrite.

Christina Hulmes, Team Leader at Milngavie Library, said, "We strongly suspect you will have a brilliant evening in the company of Simon and Tom!

“They will be delving into true stories from the frontline – revealing the challenges, twists and human tales behind some of their most memorable investigations.

"It's going to be an evening of intrigue, mysteries and behind-the-(crime)scenes insights in the company of two talented authors. Reserve your free place now."

Local libraries – operated by East Dunbartonshire Leisure and Culture (EDLC) Trust – offer a range of regular and special events, including talks, quiz nights, silent book walks and Bookbug sessions for young story fans.
