Wrong Place Wrong Time runs the whole gamut of emotions with perfectly paced twists and turns that leave you utterly spent and completely satisfied. A brilliantly genre-bending, mind-twisting answer to the question, how far would you go to save your child? Checking for him through the window, she’s momentarily relieved when she sees him round the corner…until she sees someone she doesn’t recognize approaching him. a granular exploration of secrecy and guilt -- how they corrode, how they poison a psyche -- in the manner of 'The Tell-Tale Heart.

Well this was certainly different, and there were so many twists I don’t know if I’m on my head or my heels! It felt nice to pick up a book with no expectations that I purchased on my own to break up the mountain of arcs I'm needing to catch up on, so I think it was well worth the Audible credit used. Some novels have taught me small lessons, some large, and Wrong Place Wrong Time the largest of all: that to have a child will be a lot like falling in love, as simple and as complex as that. Initially she is puzzled about why but she determines that there must be something she needs to do to stop Todd from stabbing the man. In the opening pages of this time-travel mystery, a British woman watches in horror from her window as her 18-year-old son stabs a man on the street.It’s very well written, cleverly plotted, pitched perfectly so it just flows and in some ways it shouldn’t but it does, demonstrating real writing skill.

On par with the works of Blake Crouch or Michael Crichton but with an emotional touch, this book was a overwhelmingly impressive work that, while keeping me in suspense, demonstrated the depth of a mother’s love (and which even made me cry). 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. This will be a great choice for those who want to read a different type of thriller written in an engaging manner. It left me not only shocked by the twists and turns, but questioning my own past and what I would change given the chance.After consulting with a time travelling expert multiple times (he never remembers her), she resigns herself to jumping and combing for clues. Her British accent is somewhat difficult to understand, but she does a fantastic reading, so I was able to stay with it.

A brilliantly genre-bending, mind-twisting answer to the question How far would you go to save your child? But worries about his broken curfew transform into something much more dangerous when Todd finally emerges from the darkness. I didn’t really believe this line of reasoning perhaps because there wasn’t enough build up around Joseph and how dangerous this guy was, I’m told not shown. 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. I was really invested in the first half and started to get really bored in the second half, felt like the story was dragging on too long and made me lost interest.
The narrative drags on and on as repetitive incidents occur over and over again and we get to hear Jen’s inner thoughts about how she’s not a good mother and that she’s a lawyer (If you took a shot each time you explicitly said she was a lawyer, you’d be dead now). The story begins with Jen witnessing her son kill another boy and as the police arrive, Jen’s life begins to crumble. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. She sees him walking toward the house when a man suddenly appears out of the shadows and her son pulls a knife and kills him. You'll turn each page of Jen's story, eager to find out - as she did - what secrets have been hiding in plain sight all along.
