Book Review: "Wrong Place Wrong Time" by Gillian McAllister

Can going back in time help her save her son?

You’ve probably saw this thriller all over the place this summer, and for good reason: it’s fascinating and tremendously addictive, with some twists you might not see coming.

It’s late one night, and Jen is waiting for her son Todd to come home. She knows she shouldn’t worry about him now that he’s 18, but she can’t shake her protective instinct. She sees Todd approach their house, and then she sees a man walk over to him. Much to her horror, she watches Todd stab the man to death.

Todd is arrested and refuses to have a lawyer. Jen and her husband Kelly feel powerless to help their son, but more than that, Jen is desperate to understand who this man was, and why her son killed him.

But when she wakes up the next morning, ready to fight for her son, she finds it’s the day before the murder. She feels she’s losing her mind, but she knows she has to do everything she can to prevent the murder from happening. That becomes much harder when every morning she wakes up it’s one day earlier.

I enjoyed this very much. The pace was a little slow at times but the whole concept was so compelling. Jen’s fierce love for her son and her husband gave the story such emotional heft.
