 Wrong Place, Wrong Time is a crime novel with a time travel aspect. The novel opens with Jen witnessing her son commit murder. The following day she wakes up ... and discovers it’s actually the day before the murder. Each day she travels back in time a little further, desperately searching for clues, information or anything that she might be able to use to stop her son taking the life of another. What she learns will force her to reassess everything she knows about herself and her family. Apart from the unique time travel element what I most enjoyed about this book was the way it looked at motherhood. Jen was constantly questioning her parenting decisions, feeling that she must have failed her son in some way for him to have committed such a violent act.
