EXTRAORDINARY PRAISE
FOR
SOMETHING MIGHT HAPPEN

“A brilliantly atmospheric novel which shows with truth and force the way that violent crime disturbs everything that it does
not destroy. Julie Myerson captures the terror of a town and people changed forever by a savage murder. Myerson’s voice is
compelling and readable and intimate as it leads the reader into the deep dark waters of grief.” —Helen Dunmore, author of
The Siege

“Dark, sexy, and insolent. I hope to be startled and challenged by novels. Myerson more than obliges.” —Jim Crace,
Daily Mail

“This is a tour de force, the best novel Julie Myerson has written—and that is saying something.” —Kate Kellaway,
The Observer

“Myerson’s writing is fastidiously honest, almost supernaturally sensitive, fluent and very moving.” —Lesley Glaister,
Literary Review
