Ewart Hutton

Ewart Hutton is a British-born crime fiction author who now lives in Wales. His crime novels are set in rural mid-Wales, featuring Detective Sergeant Glyn Capaldi as the protagonist investigating crimes in the remote Welsh countryside.

Hutton's writing captures the tension between the seemingly peaceful countryside and the dark events that disturb it, creating mysteries that feel rooted in their specific geography. Available as both books and audiobooks, Ewart Hutton's crime novels offer atmospheric listening and reading for fans of British rural crime fiction who appreciate the marriage of compelling investigation and evocative landscape.
