First sentence: PEOPLE THINK WHEN SOMEONE IS STABBED THEY JUST fall down on the ground and die.
Description: "On a Monday night in October in a small seaside town in Suffolk, a woman is brutally murdered. There are no obvious suspects, she was not an obvious victim. She just wasn't, thinks her grieving, bewildered friend Tess, the type to have something happen to her." "Something Might Happen is not a murder mystery. There are clues, false trails, detectives, all the papaphernalia of the whodunnit, but Myerson's concern is with the effect of the murder on an ordinary community and specifically on Tess herself, her husband Mick and her four children. As the police go about their routine investigation, Tess's world of nappies, school runs and baked beans begins to unravel. Suddenly nothing is certain, the mundane becomes charged with significance, established relationships begin to crumble and places that once were safe are safe no longer."--BOOK JACKET.
