Summary
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.

A surprisingly great read! I was worried it would be hard to follow with the story line working backwards, but it was easy to follow and kept me listening. The characters were so likeable and developed realistically as the story progressed. I loved the suspense, and it definitely kept me guessing.

Satisfying

Profile Avatar Anonymous Aug 2022

Loved this book! It got me at the first chapter and kept a hold of me until the very end. I didn't want to put it down, couldn't wait to get back to it and then hated for it to be done!

Profile Avatar KristenLeigh Jan 2023

Such a great storyline. Had me gasping and wide eyed. Wish the narrator had a little more difference in voices, but highly recommend!

Profile Avatar Connie E. Jan 2023

I’m not one for paranormal or fantasy, but this plot was absolutely gripping. The narrator did an excellent job and kept good rhythm while speaking this well-told story to life. Thoroughly enjoyed.

Profile Avatar CiCi D. Dec 2022

What a ride this listen was. I’m in awe of how unique the story line is and how it kept me on the edge of my seat. 10/10 Highly recommend.

Profile Avatar Jessica K. Nov 2022

Amazing, kept me guessing the entire time.

Profile Avatar Susan R Nov 2022

Wasn't sure I'd like this because it's so different but I really go into it and enjoyed the twists and characters. The writing was excellent!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Nov 2022

Unique story- excellent narration

Profile Avatar Anonymous Oct 2022

Incredible! Such a good, thought-provoking thriller from the beginning

Profile Avatar Anonymous Nov 2024

You could cut out the whole middle of the book. It is so so boring. I’m very alone in this opinion. But just didn’t like it.

Profile Avatar Jennifer P. Jun 2024

Loved the book and the narrator. Great story.

Profile Avatar Talita A. Jun 2024

Awesome! Really worth your time. Loved the narrator and the story

Profile Avatar Emily B. May 2024

I enjoyed this book. It was very well written, concise, and to the point while including metaphors and imagery. Often, a book will not hold my interest until 1/2 way through, that was not the case with this one. I liked the narrator as well, which is big for me.

Profile Avatar Stephani G. May 2024

Hard to follow, for me. The jumping back every day was complicated. Fairly good story but a little confusing

Profile Avatar Laura T. Mar 2024

The book was just…WOW. Do not hesitate to give this one a listen!

Profile Avatar Laura Malone Mar 2024

Great book, kept me holding on and never expected any of the twist that came.

Profile Avatar Kelli L. Mar 2024

One of the best books I’ve ever read. Couldn’t stop listening.

Profile Avatar Sylvia S. Mar 2024

I quite enjoyed this book. I feel like it started a bit slow, but it gained momentum and picked up speed and I was pretty hooked. The numerous and repeated descriptions of Jen’s love for her son got a bit tiring, but the story is well written and all comes together in the end. It may have been easier to follow as a paper book because of the jumping back in time, but I made it through the audiobook and the narrator I thought did an excellent job. 4 stars from me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Profile Avatar Flora Zobl Feb 2024

Very good idea - turned out to be quite good!

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2023

This was such a great story! I went in knowing absolutely nothing - I prefer it that way - and I was not disappointed. this take on a mystery/time-loop story is so intriguing.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Dec 2023

Loved it!

Profile Avatar Wrennwood D. Nov 2023

Incredible storyline that kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Profile Avatar Rose B. Sep 2023

a thrill ride.

Profile Avatar Lisa H. Aug 2023

I loved this book. It took a bit to get into but when I did I thoroughly enjoyed it

Profile Avatar Lauren E Aug 2023

Good listen with plot twists. Was able to follow the story in the time travel easily. Narration was great as well.

Profile Avatar Diane Morgan Aug 2023

Definitely a new approach. I had to finish in one sitting

Profile Avatar Cynthia D. Jun 2023

Excellent. At first, I was a bit disappointed when I saw where the story was headed because I normally don't care for this kind of storyline. It didn't take long, though, to reel me back in. Wonderfully written and narrated. Intriguing twists right to the end. I actually want to listen to this one again, to better catch everything this time. This book should be a Netfix series.

Profile Avatar Susan A. May 2023

Great story, great narration! Funny, yet riveting, on the edge of your seat kind of thing. Appealing characters all around. We do audiobooks on long drives; this is the best one we’ve enjoyed in years!

Profile Avatar Jessica MAZICH Apr 2023

great story about love and the power of it, twists that can not be foreshadowing.

Profile Avatar Rachel J. Apr 2023

Great book with a twist I was not expecting!

Profile Avatar Omer H. Apr 2023

Great read and listening Couldn’t stop

Profile Avatar Marie C. Mar 2023

The story was interesting & kept you listening. I didn’t particularly like the time travel style but kept listening as the story held my attention

Profile Avatar Anonymous Mar 2023

An interesting take on the idea of the movie Ground Hog’s Day and Happy Death Day To Me (and so many others). Even though the start jumps you into a story that’s all questions and chaos, it was still a little slow. I really liked the slowness as it allowed for character development. We figure out what’s going on as the protag does and it never feels like she’s too naive or simplistic in her understanding. And what’s going on is really interesting, even if more than a little implausible. The ending pays off, but one needs to really-really-really suspend their disbelief throughout. Overall, this was a terrific story told really well. Highly recommend.

Profile Avatar Debbi S. Feb 2023

Definitely kept my interest. I guessed 1 twist early but not the others.

Profile Avatar Vicki K. Feb 2023

This was such a creative, well-written book. It kept me interested and engaged throughout. The narrator is absolutely wonderful!

Profile Avatar Mary S. Oct 2022

Excellent listen!

Profile Avatar Christine M. Oct 2022

Excellent!!!! Nice twist at the end!!!! Did not see that coming !!!

Profile Avatar Chris D. Oct 2022

this book has a unique story kine and good twists here and there.

Profile Avatar BnBsmom Sep 2022

This book was not what I expected. It was so much more. I expected a good read, but it turned out to be far better than just good. I appreciate the love story between Jen and her husband. When it seemed that it might not be real, I was thankful the author made it even better and stronger. The lengths a mother will go for the good of her family should never be underestimated, and this novel brings that point out very well! The idea of being able to revisit some of our previous encounters was also nice. I often listen to my books again if they are with revisiting. I think this will definitely be added to that list.

Profile Avatar Anonymous Sep 2022

This was interesting and had some good twists. Honestly, the characters were not exactly endearing, and I wasn’t invested in the outcome. Overall, I wanted to keep listening to see what would happen next. Enjoyable!

Profile Avatar Elizabeth L. Aug 2022

Loved this book, most creative thriller I’ve come across in a long while. Interesting observations on motherhood too, very relatable. Highly recommend!

Profile Avatar Traci Nycole Aug 2022

I liked the premise, and the twists at the end, the middle was ok. I didn't listen to the narrated version, but I can't not rate the narrator, so I'll give her a neutral rating.

Profile Avatar Jamie-Lee F. Aug 2022

Really enjoyed this book! Unique premise.

Profile Avatar Kristen L. Aug 2022

A little too sci-fi for me but a unique story.

Profile Avatar Mistey M. Aug 2022

Great suspense!
