As you watch from the window, he emerges, and you realize he isn’t alone: he’s walking toward a man, and he’s armed. You can’t believe it when you see him do it: your funny, happy teenage son, he kills a stranger, right there on the street outside your house. You don’t know who. You don’t know why.

And then you wake again . . . . . . and it is the day before yesterday. Every morning you wake up a day earlier, another day before the murder. With another chance to stop it. Somewhere in the past lies an answer. The trigger for this crime—and you don’t have a choice but to find it . . . “Another ingeniously plotted genre-bender… McAllister succeeds in making us care, and the result is a tour de force.” — The Guardian “This entertaining look at motherhood and memory will resonate with many.” — Publishers Weekly

I love time travel stories, though I’m not a fan of the science (real or imagined) behind the trope.

I am not the greatest review writer. I don’t like to leave missives about the story and characters.

I love it when an author gets right to the story, and I am immersed quickly into their lives. Very well written and keeps you wanting to know what happens. I really enjoyed it and hated it to end. Thank you for the good finish that left me feeling good about human relationships rather than the negative I was expecting.

I love it when I take a risk on an author I don’t know because the review sounds interesting and end up finding an author who will be a must read. It is so nice to read a book with a different premise. The main character goes back in time to solve the mystery. Some authors would have messed it up, but Ms McAllister keeps it all together. I am not one of those reviewers that reveals the whole plot. Suffice it to say as far as I am concerned this is a must read. Excellent book!

This is a fun, enthralling, fast-paced, twisty story and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Everyone dreams of going back in time to right a wrong, or avoid a costly mistake but Jen gets to do it, although with a large quotient of confusion and cluelessness.

This is the first time I’ve given a book, namely, Wrong Place Wrong Time, a four star review, and I’m happy to give it! The book by Gillian McAllister was a good paced read with a great ending! The only negative I would say was the repeating words or phrases three times in a row..like surely surely surely or up up up, down down down, sometime it worked in the storyline but mostly it was annoying…book word quota? Anyway I wasn’t annoyed enough by it to not enjoy the story! I definitely would recommend this book to a friend!

I did enjoy this book, it is very original and I love that it starts up quickly. There are some “ahhh ha” moments, however, the ending was a big of a shock, not because of the story itself but because I was really expecting more. It’s almost like it wrapped up to “end” the story and I was really hoping for a major twist. I do still recommend it because of its originality and it was an overall good read!

So many puzzles and twists and turns I couldn’t stop reading – finished it in one day. One of the most intriguing, overlapping events I’m just dazzled by any mind that can come up with a story this complicated and satisfying. A real time travel twister.
