About the author

Hello, and welcome to my Amazon author page!
Writing as C.M. Ewan, my forthcoming thriller THE INTERVIEW will be published in February 2022 and I'm also the author of A WINDOW BREAKS, a nerve-shredding thriller that asks the question: what would you do if you woke up at 2 a.m. to hear somebody in your home?
Writing as Chris Ewan, I'm also the author of the popular GOOD THIEF'S GUIDE TO ... series of mysteries about globetrotting crime writer and thief-for-hire, Charlie Howard. The series has been praised as "crime writing at its best" (Sydney Morning Herald) and a "delightful series" (The Seattle Times). The books in the GOOD THIEF series include: THE GOOD THIEF'S GUIDE TO AMSTERDAM (winner of the Long Barn Books First Novel Award), THE GOOD THIEF'S GUIDE TO PARIS, THE GOOD THIEF'S GUIDE TO VEGAS, THE GOOD THIEF'S GUIDE TO VENICE and THE GOOD THIEF'S GUIDE TO BERLIN. I have also written a festive Good Thief's Guide story called THE GOOD THIEF'S GUIDE TO CHRISTMAS.

My critically acclaimed standalone thrillers include the major bestseller SAFE HOUSE (which has sold more than 500,000 copies in the UK and was shortlisted for the Theakstons Old Peculier Crime Novel of the Year Award), DEAD LINE (which is optioned for film), DARK TIDES (an Observer "Thriller of the Month") and LONG TIME LOST (a "masterful thriller" The Independent). I'm also the author of the Kindle Single story SCARLETT POINT which, like several of my thrillers, is set on the Isle of Man.
I was born in Taunton in 1976 and graduated from the University of Nottingham with a degree in American Studies with a minor in Canadian Literature, then later trained as a lawyer. After an eleven-year spell living on the Isle of Man, I now live in Somerset, England with my wife and two children, where I write full time.

Simon Vance who reads it has a wonderful voice and I’m sure he adds to the brilliance of the books.
I’m totally gutted that I’m on the fifth book, but I will most definitely listen to these over and over.
The subtle wit is awesome and sometimes I so wanted to hit Charlies head against a wall and say, ‘don’t do it!!’.
I’ve reviewed here as you can’t review on the library website.
