Blurb

Something Might Happen is a novel by Julie Myerson about a murder in a small English seaside town and how it affects the community as well as friends and family of the murder victim. The story is not a whodunnit although it incorporates various elements of the crime novel. The first person narrator is Tess, a 39-year-old osteopath and mother of four who was also the victim's closest friend.
One Monday night in early October, Leonora Daniels is brutally murdered on her way home from a PTA meeting. Without sexually assaulting her, her killer cuts her heart out of her body and disappears with it, leaving Lennie's mutilated body there in a car park near the seafront.
The first reaction of the townspeople is shock: They have always considered the place a safe town where you do not even have to lock up during the day. However, they easily adapt to the changing circumstances. More people, most of them police, means more business, so opening hours are extended and new stock is ordered.
It soon turns out that the police do not have any clue as to the identity of the murderer.
