Three Sentence Review: Wrong Place Wrong Time

  1. Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister was my pick for our monthly book club and due to its speculative fiction (time travel) genre, I was a little nervous about its acceptance, but it was an engrossing read which was well-received and offered lively conversation.
  2. Unlike Groundhog Day, the story goes back and back and back in time, each waking offers a date preceding the prior which was a format that the author handled well and I really enjoyed.
  3. The murder mystery was interesting but it was the maternal relativity and personal self-discovery as revealed through each time jump that continues to resonate with me.

Full Title : Wrong Place Wrong Time

Genre: Women’s Psychological Fiction, Mystery, Thriller

Brief Synopsis: After a woman witnesses her son stab a stranger, she wakes a day prior to the crime, and each day after is actually another time before. Struggling to solve the mystery of the murder, she experiences her life in reverse with the benefit of fresh eyes and insight on details of the choices she’s made.

You certainly didn’t need MY opinion on Wrong Place Wrong Time since it was a Reese’s Pick, but I’m happy to recommend and/or discuss.

About Mary Fran Says

I am an artist, crafter, designer and writer. I enjoy working with mixed media-- applying visual and tactile manipulations to telling a story. Not a lot of market for that, though, :), so I'm focusing on short story submissions and novel completions. Yes, plural. Lots of beginnings, too many ideas, not enough focus.
