Book Description:

Can you stop a murder after it’s already happened?

Late October. After midnight. You’re waiting up for your seventeen-year-old son. He’s late. 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. You only know your son is now in custody. His future shattered.

That night you fall asleep in despair. All is lost. Until you wake… and it is yesterday.

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…

Jessica’s Review:

It seems like 2022 has been the year of thrillers for me as I have found so many I have greatly enjoyed.  And Wrong Place Wrong Time is another of those! This is another one that made me go “Whoa!”

Sort of like a reverse Groundhog Day where Jen sees her teenage son Todd murder an unknown stranger in front of their house one night and he is arrested. This would be every parent’s worst nightmare come true.  Then she wakes up the ‘next day’ but it is not:  It is actually the day before the murder. She lives each day and then wakes up further in the past.  How long will Jenn keep going into the past and can she stop Todd from his now future crime?

Jenn is on this on her own for the most part because everything she experiences no one will remember because the next day she moves into the past again. 

I can’t say much more because you really can’t without giving everything away! I thought I might know the direction the novel was going, but nope! I was wrong! The story does become more than just stopping this now future murder and we get some unbelievably good twists! And the ending.. I just loved it!!!

I listened to the audiobook and the narrator did a fabulous job with her storytelling and interpretations of the characters.

If you are a thriller lover at all, then go pick this one up now! And prepare to go along for a wild and crazy good ride!
