About this listen

‘The week I shot a man clean through the head began like any other . . .’

From Emma Stonex, the bestselling author of The Lamplighters, comes The Sunshine Man, a gripping revenge thriller that will leave you breathless.

In January 1989, Birdie wakes to the news she’s been waiting eighteen years to hear. Jimmy Maguire, the man who killed her sister, has been freed from jail. Birdie sends her kids to school and then leaves for London with a gun and a plan: to find Jimmy and make him pay.

But there’s another side to the story, and Birdie is about to enter a world of family lies, worn-out loyalties and long-buried betrayals . . .

A heart-stopping novel of shared pasts and a fury-fuelled present, The Sunshine Man is an addictive thriller set against the sweeping hills 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)
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)
Imaginative, tender and compelling, Emma Stonex's writing glows from the page. A charged and unforgettable story (A.J. West, author of The Betrayal of Thomas True)
