I really enjoyed this read! It immediately got to the plot point which I so appreciated. An immediate page-turner isn’t common for me. You’re asking questions up until the very end, a very strong four stars for me!

HoLY SHIT! Damm. This book doesn't miss. Every time you think you have something figured out: you don't. While most of the characters don't develop beyond their box, Kelly and Jen become something else entirely. They start off in the box but evolve into their own complex characters with backstories you'd never think of. Truly a time travel story thats both new and exciting! My only qualm (which doesn't effect the actual story which is why it doesn't effect the score) is that a lot of the book throws in British slang and as an American its hard to understand.

I really enjoyed the premise of this book. The twists and turns were all at once surprising and satisfying. I hoped she was going in one direction, but then she’d go in a completely different one before ending at the same conclusion I wanted. It was a rollercoaster, equal parts enjoyable, frustrating, and inventive.

Jen Brotherhood’s teenage son Todd has stabbed someone. After her son is charged with murder and placed in jail, Jen and her husband Kelly leave the police station, go to bed, and then Jen wakes up 1 day before the murder. Wrong Place, Wrong Time is Jen’s journey backwards in time, one day at a time, to try to piece together who was stabbed, why, and what her son has to do with this major crime. Part psychological thriller, part time-travel novel with a sprinkle of deja-vu moments, Wrong Place, Wrong Time will keep you guessing. The highlight of this book for me was Jen’s struggle on how her interactions in the past might change her entire future. If you like time-travel or loved the movie Inception or Groundhog Day, this is the book for you. I didn’t find the plot as riveting as most reviewers, or the characters especially intriguing, but the book held my attention, and it was a pretty fast-paced read. I was able to predict most of the twists, but it still made for an enjoyable first book of 2024.

What would you do if you witnessed your son committing a murder? And then you wake up the day before it happens? It wasn't a dream either.
Would highly recommend for fans of mysteries with a science fiction twist that doesn't overly complicate the realistic fiction narrative.

For me, a bit slow until three-quarters of the way through, though that just may be my attention span these days. Either way, decently enjoyable and I personally didn’t see the twists coming.
