We are so pleased that internationally best-selling author Paula Hawkins has been longlisted for the CWA Dagger in the Library. This is a prize for a body of work by an established writer of crime fiction or non-fiction who has long been popular with borrowers from libraries. It also rewards authors who have supported libraries and their users through taking part in library events.

It is particularly special as authors are nominated by libraries and borrowers in the UK and Ireland, and the award is ultimately voted for by libraries.

It is wonderful to see Paula’s novels deservedly celebrated in this way.
