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.

When I stumbled across the premise for Wrong Place, Wrong Time, my mystery-loving, time travel-obsessed heart skipped a beat! A mind-bending thriller about trying to stop a murder before it happens by jumping through time? Yes, please!

I’m an absolute sucker for a clever whodunit with inventive, high-concept twists. And Gillian McAllister’s unique spin on mom Jen trying to rewrite the past to save her son from committing a unthinkable crime hooked me instantly.

Can you imagine witnessing something so horrific, only to wake up with the chance to somehow course-correct before it all goes down? I’m already on the edge of my seat thinking about the tense possibilities!

As both a mystery junkie always eager to put my amateur sleuthing skills to the test and a time travel nerd fascinated by the ripple effects of altering the past, this genre mashup pushes all my buttons.

With shades of past-rewriting gems like The Butterfly Effect and the resonant emotional stakes of a parent trying to save their child, Wrong Place, Wrong Time sounds like the perfect mind-bending escape. I can’t wait to unravel its tangled web!
