About this audiobook

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 loved this book. It is a clever mystery with an interesting plot twist. I found myself side-by-side with the protagonist trying to figure out what in the world was going on. I even got goosebumps at the end. Thoroughly enjoyed. Just don’t read the description before reading it because you don’t want to spoil any of the surprises!

    Very well narrated and written. Very interesting concept of telling a story, I never really read anything quite like it.
    It’s a little bit hard to follow at times, lots of characters, but it all makes sense in the end.

    A thriller in the vein of Dark Matter, wherein we experience a little sci-fi twist. Time bending, mind twister, that makes you ponder what’s really important in life and how all of our biggest outcomes can sometimes hinge on our smallest choices.

    This book was truly captivating, so if you’re looking for your next mysterious, suspenseful audio book, start listening! I was hunting for a new book and started a few before getting completely pulled into this story. I listened in bed one night and my eyes literally shot open after a plot line secret locked into place! Phenomenally written and NOT predictable. Love this narrator also!
