Wrong Place, Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister is a high-concept psychological thriller that blends a classic murder mystery with a time-loop premise.
The Premise
Late one night, Jen, a lawyer and mother, looks out her window to see her sweet, ordinary 18-year-old son, Todd, stab a stranger to death right outside their home. Devastated and in disbelief after Todd is taken into police custody, she falls asleep—only to wake up the next morning and realize it is yesterday. The murder hasn’t happened yet.
Every time Jen goes to sleep, she wakes up further in the past—first days, then months, and eventually years. To break the loop and save her son’s future, she must untangle a web of long-buried family secrets and hidden motives to figure out why Todd will commit the crime and prevent it before it happens.
