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.

I would have enjoyed this more without the use of foul language, but it’s typical for a British author. It held my interest as I wanted to know what would happen next. The ending was a bit lacking. It wraps it all up neatly, I suppose, but still leaves me questioning as any time travel story might.

I really enjoyed this book! It was such a clever and interesting story full of plot twists that talks about what being a mother is like and how things that may seem small or insignificant (like lies) can have a big consequences in our lives.
● I found the main character, Jen, very likable. She was such a good depiction of what mothers go through both before and after having children and how they must with their stress over their appearance as a fa...read more
