Finding lines with dropped opening quote

I have a particular epub that the author seems to have omitted a lot of the opening quotes at the beginning of a 'paragraph' (by this I mean right after a <p> tag). It's an intermittent problem though, not constant, which I think makes it more difficult.

An example is (this is made up text so no copyright issues)
  • <p>Let’s all run over the the store,” he said happily. "We can buy ice cream.”</p>

I did try a couple of option, but the only one that worked, would also pick up the following, which doesn't need changing:
  • <p>George called out to his friends, “Let's all run to the store and get some ice cream.”

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. I know I'm probably just missing something obvious, but...
