Saturday 14th September, 5.00pm STIRLING HIGHLAND HOTEL

“A killing, a mystery, an enquiry and a conclusion with an element of satisfaction in it”. The ingredients of good crime fiction according to Margery Allingham in the 1940s. But does that recipe still hold true for contemporary crime novels? And do you have to plan it all out in advance or can you change the story as you write? Three novelists at the height of their power – A&B’s Aline Templeton, Caro Ramsay and Gillian Galbraith – discuss how they tackle narrative. Tickets are £7/£6 concession and can be bought here. The talk will take place in the MacLauren Suite in the Stirling Highland Hotel, Spittal Street, FK8 1DU
