Kevin Skelton watched helplessly as a bomb ripped apart the life he knew. It was 15 August 1998, & the place was Omagh, in Northern Irel&. Kevin's wife Mena was one of the 29 people killed that day, & his daughter Shauna was horrifically injured. Kevin had lost the love of his life. He sank into the depths of despair after the bomb. At a time when his family needed him most, he turned to drink & self-loathing, often wishing he could have taken Mena's place that day. More than once, he held a loaded shotgun to his mouth, but he could never go through with it. Mena was the angel who saved him. Before she died, she & Kevin had been bringing a young girl, Andreea, from a Romanian orphanage, for holidays to their home. In memory of Mena, Kevin decided to adopt Andreea, but on his first trip to Romania to start proceedings, he was shocked to discover that her mother, Maria, was still alive. In the most unlikely of circumstances, a love blossomed between them, convincing Kevin that Mena had sent Andreea & Maria to him so that he could find happiness again. He believes Mena has been a constant presence in the family's lives since her death, watching over them & protecting them.

On an April evening in 1779, a woman is shot on the steps of Covent Garden. Her murderer is a young soldier & Church of England minister; her lover, the Earl of Sandwich, one of the most powerful politicians of the day. This compelling account of murder, love & intrigue brings Georgian London to life in a spellbinding historical masterpiece. On an April evening in 1779, Martha Ray, mistress of the Earl of Sandwich, was shot on the steps of Covent Garden by James Hackman, a young soldier & minister of the Church of Engl&. She died instantly, leaving behind a grief-stricken lover & five small children. Hackman, after trying to kill himself, was arrested, tried & hanged at Tyburn ten days later. The story was to become one of the scandals of the age. It seemed an open-&-shut case, but why had Hackman killed Ray? He claimed he suffered from 'love's madness' but his motives remained obscure. & as Martha Ray shared the bed of one of the most powerful & unpopular politicians of the day (and one of Georgian London's greatest libertines), the city buzzed with the story, as every hack journalist sharpened his pen. John Brewer has written an account of this violent murder that is as thrilling & compelling as the best crime novel. Atmospheric, beautifully written, & alive with the characters & bustle of 18th-century London, the book examines in minute detail the events of a few crucial moments & gives an unforgettable account of the relationships between the three protagonists & their different places within society. However, the interest in Martha's murder did not end with the Georgians, & ' Sentimental Murder 'ranges over two centuries, populated by journalists, biographers & historians who tried to make sense of the killing. & so it becomes an intriguing exploration of the relations between history & fiction, storytelling & fact, past & present. John Brewer has transformed a tragic tale of murder into an historical masterpiece. ...
