Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister
challenging dark mysterious tense
Plot or Character Driven: Plot

If you like limited series British crime dramas like Broadchurch or Inside Man, you’d probably enjoy this story. A woman’s son commits a murder and she somehow ends up traveling backward in time with the intent of figuring out why the murder happened and what she can do to stop it. So the whole plot is upside down from the start. Normally, I’m very bothered by not knowing what’s going on (this is a normal aspect of mysteries, I know), but the protagonist also didn’t know what was going on, and you got to discover right alongside her. It was a decent read. Plot was very well structured, especially considering it moved backwards.
