AUTHOR OF THE MONTH | MARCH

We’re celebrating all things thriller and historical fiction this month, with an internationally-renowned Author of the Month.

Ken Follett was awarded a CBE in 2018 for services to literature, with his debut novel, Eye of the Needle featuring on the 2019 BBC promotion, ‘The Novels That Shaped Our World’. A master of the craft of creating page-turning novels, there is truly something for everyone in Ken Follett’s work – from adventure to espionage, with meticulously researched period detail and nail-biting plots.

Find out how you can get your hands on the copies of Ken Follett books at our libraries by reading our blog:
