Written by Irish author, eithne shortall, “it could never happen here” is a wonderful piece of contemporary fiction, full of gossip and humour!
It starts with the police investigating an unexplained death
The characters are well desciribed and realistic, i often felt as if i were sitting with them, and i could easily imagine the politics of this small town primary school.
Very engaging, well worth the read
