INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A REESE'S BOOK CLUB PICK
“It’s perfection, every word, every moment. A masterpiece . . . One of the best books I’ve ever read.” —Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times bestselling author
New York Times bestselling author Gillian McAllister has created a thriller unlike any other in this endlessly clever, twisty story of a mother who must move backward through time to prevent tragedy from striking at the heart of her family.
Can you stop a murder after it’s already happened?
It is midnight on the morning of Halloween, and Jen anxiously waits up for her 18-year-old son, Todd, to return home. But worries about his broken curfew transform into something much more dangerous when Todd finally emerges from the darkness. As Jen watches through the window, she sees her funny, seemingly happy teenage son stab a total stranger.
She doesn’t know who the victim is, or why Todd has committed such a devastating act of violence. All she knows is that her life, and Todd’s, have been shattered.
After her son is taken into custody, Jen falls asleep in despair. But when she wakes up…it is yesterday. The murder has not happened yet—and there may be a chance to stop it. Each morning, when Jen wakes, she is further back in the past, first weeks, then years, before the murder. And Jen realizes that somewhere in the past lies the trigger for Todd’s terrible crime…and it is her mission to find it, and prevent it from taking place.
Both the story of a mother’s love and the sacrifices she will make for her child, and a thriller with a brilliant twist, Wrong Place Wrong Time is a one-of-a-kind novel that begs to be read in one sitting.

This was amazing!!! Everything was perfect. No loopholes (well at least I couldn't find any). Refreshing too. I am going to pick up more books by this author. I liked the narrator too. A couple books I picked up before this one, I had to leave due to unsuitable narration, but this was good.

This was quite intriguing; though it became a little more predictable as the story progressed. But definitely worth reading, especially if you are a fan of thrillers!

I know the concept was really good but I predicted all the twists so it felt flat to me.

I don't know why few people wrote boring and all but I assure you it isn't. It just needs a little patience that's it. The plot is damn good and I like how the story unfolds.

This is an extraordinary story....!! A little slow in the beginning, difficult to keep track of the events and time frame but once you get a grip of it, its a page turner.

The first 50% was very good and I had no idea what to expect but it started going downhill and boring in the latter half.
