About this event

TV scriptwriter and bestselling crime novelist, Simon McCleave, giving a free talk and Q&A at Shrewsbury Library.

Simon's DI Ruth Hunter thrillers ('The Snowdonia Killings', 'The Harlech Beach Killings' etc) have sold over 3 million copies and have become firm favourites with crime fans across the UK. His Anglesey novels are another hit series, and books like 'The Dark Tide' and 'Dead in the Water' have made him one of the the biggest names in Welsh crime writing.

Before writing novels, Simon worked on shows like The Bill, Silent Witness, Eastenders and many more. His novels are now being adapted for the screen with filming of 'The Snowdonia Killings' due to begin in the autumn.
