About this listen
'Stonex is out to set pulses racing' - The Observer
'An ambitious revenge thriller' - The Guardian
'A deeply thrilling and emotionally rich page-turner' - Lucy Clarke
Birdie wakes to the news she’s been waiting eighteen years to hear: Jimmy Maguire - the man who murdered her sister - is out of prison.
She sends her children to school, picks up a gun, and leaves for London with one purpose: to find Jimmy and make him pay.
But there’s another side to this story, and Birdie is about to enter a world of family lies, worn-out loyalties and long-buried betrayals . . .
Gripping, emotional, and charged with tension, The Sunshine Man is a powerful story of reckoning and revenge, set against the haunting beauty of rural Devon, from bestselling author Emma Stonex.

Critic reviews
A remarkable novel - heart-wrenching, unflinching and deeply compassionate . . . thrilling, and incredibly moving. If you loved The Lamplighters, I guarantee you’ll love The Sunshine Man too (Emylia Hall, author of The Shell House Detectives)
Masterful. Not only suspenseful and exquisitely tense but a nuanced, humanely observed portrait of grief and trauma. A triumph (Jo Harkin, author of The Pretender)
A brilliantly accomplished story of fractured lives and the long-term reverberations of violent crime, The Sunshine Man is both poetic and fiendishly gripping. Stonex's prose is bruising and beautiful (Rosie Walsh, author of The Man Who Didn't Call)
Spellbinding and beautifully written, The Sunshine Man transcends genre. It’s an unbearably tense thriller and a nuanced examination of fractured lives, grief and trauma. Told in glittering and poetic prose with an impeccable sense of place, this is a granular exploration of big questions – revenge, love and redemption. I –––ing loved it! (Nikki May, author of Wahala and This Motherless Land)
A compelling and masterful thriller - with a loaded gun, a car chase and a woman set on revenge - and a compassionate tale of grief, resilience, love and absolution (Susan Fletcher, author of The Night in Question)
This dark, compelling novel of trauma, revenge and damaged lives really got under my skin . . . The prose shines with beauty, the characters are vividly drawn and the plot hurtles headlong towards its unforgettable ending (Lucy Diamond, author of I Remember Paris)
Gripping, heartbreaking, and one of the most psychologically complex thrillers I've ever read (Caroline Lea, author of The Glass Woman)
Emma Stonex returns with a dark, powerful page-turner - a story full of pain and loneliness but also love and redemption. A very sophisticated and moving psychological thriller (Emily Koch, author of If I Die Before I Wake)
Some books grab you by the throat, others by the heart. The Sunshine Man seizes both then refuses to let go. Threaded through with a deep, unfurling sense of dread, yet dazzling in its tenderness and heart, this compelling literary thriller cements Emma Stonex's place as one of our brightest literary talents. A masterful achievement (Hannah Richell, author of The Search Party)
