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 listened to in one sitting.

Five years ago, Lady Violet Grey and Lord James Audley met, fell in love, and got married. Four years ago, they had a fight to end all fights, and have barely spoken since. Their once-passionate love match has been reduced to one of cold, detached politeness. But when Violet receives a letter that James has been thrown from his horse and rendered unconscious at their country estate, she races to be by his side - only to discover him alive and well at a tavern, and completely unaware of her concern.

The cell phone service may be spotty and the waves may be rough, but every detail has been expertly planned and will be expertly executed.

Bestselling mystery writer Lucy Harper's talent for invention has given her fame, fortune, and an army of adoring readers. It has also saddled her with dependents, namely her fawning husband Dan. When Dan suddenly goes missing, his disappearance evokes dark memories that take Lucy back more than thirty years—to the day her brother vanished without a trace. That's when Lucy began conjuring stories. The police investigation revealed few confirmed details, so she created tales to fill in the gaps, to explain what happened that day her brother disappeared—and Lucy was the only witness.

Spectacular!
This was such a refreshing read. I couldn't put it down and I actually cheered aloud at the conclusion! This story qualifies as excellent under so many genres: mystery, thriller, sci-fi, fantasy, literature, and more. It is a mind bender and a fun puzzle.
As someone who also really enjoys physically reading books I must say that presented as an audio book makes the story even better because it draws you in even more. WELL DONE!
Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!

So incredibly unique
You can’t help but be sucked into the main character’s world. Helplessly confused, trying to figure out why this is happening, and what is needed to stop it. I really really enjoyed this book. Suspenseful, but real. Real in the way that makes you look back at your life and wonder if one thing was done differently, what all could it have changed for the course of your life.

Riveting
Loved this book… I listened to it as part of Reese Witherspoon’s book club recommendation and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The mystery and clues keep you thinking and doing it in reverse makes it much more exciting! I don’t think the story would be as good in a regular timeline and the voice actor was great!!
