CAN YOU STOP A MURDER AFTER IT'S ALREADY HAPPENED? . . . DISCOVER THE MOST TALKED ABOUT THRILLER OF THE YEAR And, right then, it had felt, suddenly, like spring, even though it began to rain again only minutes later.If you're wondering how this got through editing, you and me both. First, I do really like these Groundhog Day-type stories—this is typically where the protagonist relives the same day or time period over and over. The idea is that they’re supposed to discover something or even take some type of action in the past that will change their current present and future for good. If you are aware of these techniques used by liars, you can easily detect liars. The polygraph test is also used for detecting liars in certain investigations. Some perfect liars tell lies more convincingly than the facts. It is tough to detect their lies.

Honestly this one felt like a chore to read. Very thankful to my gals for the buddy read cause I would have DNF’d it otherwise. There are plenty of surprises in this story and once I got into the swing of what was occurring (and once Jen accepted that it was taking place and stopped trying to figure out the how/why/trying to tell everyone around her what was happening) I was able to put on my puzzle solving hat and go with the flow of what Jen was trying to discover. If you love a book that pulls you away from your normal thought processes then you will adore this.

In doing so, she discovers uncomfortable truths about her own relationship with her son; the times she wasn’t there for him because of work, the times she didn’t listen. Can she correct these mistakes? And how can she halt her tumble through time?

Very well done mystery story in the vein of Russian Doll (which I also loved). Even though I figured out what was going on long before it was revealed, the story was fast paced and kept me intrigued. But I am a bit bummed it took a while. And don’t get me wrong, I think this story turns out to be great. However, I do feel the first half could have been fleshed out a bit better. This Groundhog’s Day premise is engaging from the first chapter. I did figure out part of the twist, but it may not be as obvious to those who are new to this genre. This was a five star read until the last minute of the book, as the ending felt rushed. The reader deserves a more detailed explanation into why the time loop was initiated! She sets the mug on the windowsill, calls Kelly, then rushes down the stairs two at a time, the striped runner rough on her bare feet. She throws on shoes, then pauses for a second with her hand on the metal front doorknob.

Wowza, this is an absolute mindblower. I’ve been a fan of Gilly McAllister for several years but in my opinion this is the best yet. My advice, don’t read the blurb, go in blind for greater enjoyment. All I’m going to say is that on day zero just after midnight Jen is anxiously waiting for her son Todd to come home. She spots him and shortly after her world stops turning. What follows on takes Jen on a journey of discovery after discovery. Now that it is past midnight, it is officially the thirtieth of October. Almost Halloween. Jen tells herself that Todd is eighteen, her September baby now an adult. He can do whatever he wants. Initially I was not excited about this premise but then got into it and revelled in the new facts, and twists to the story I just didn’t see coming. Well because they were in the past!!!! The premise is that a mother/lawyer witnesses her 18-year-old son murder a man in the front of their home. This is day zero, or more accurately, night zero. As one can imagine, Jen, the mother, is beside herself. Her son is arrested right in front of her for murdering a man who appears to be in his 40’s. Her son, Todd, is taken into police custody.

Over the course of the story she feels that she is to blame for what her son Todd has done in the present day when he kills someone. Was she around enough? Did she give him enough attention as a child? It’s the type of guilt that most parents carry as we need to earn a living to pay the bills yet we want to make the most of our children and it can be hard to find a happy medium. She is happily married and has lived in a bubble where she could never in her wildest dreams think her son is capable of murder. So what made him do it? Pros: unique premise, thoughtfully executed and interesting plot, calm cool and collected ending, excellent use of a literary device, spittin some facts on motherhood and marriage With Wrong Place, Wrong Time, a mother is trying to stop her teenage son from becoming a murderer. But so much more is going on—how did it get to that point? And why? What signs did she miss along the way? What’s The Story About I will say though, I didn't love everything. For one, I found the writing style to be a bit odd, especially in the beginning. There was an excess of punctuation everywhere, particularly commas. This isn't the sort of thing I usually notice, but it was really flagrant.

That night you fall asleep in despair. But when you wake . . . it is yesterday. The day before the murder. First of all, look, I really, really, really wanted to like this book. (Does this writing annoy you? Me too. This is how Wrong place, wrong time is written)Banter can hide the worst sins.
