Can you stop a murder after it's already happened?

From New York Times bestselling author Gillian McAllister comes a brilliantly twisty psychological thriller about a mother's love, a shocking murder, and an impossible journey backward through time.

It's just after midnight on Halloween.

Jen is waiting anxiously for her eighteen-year-old son, Todd, to come home.

He's late.

She's worried.

But nothing could prepare her for what happens next.

As Jen watches from her window, she sees Todd emerge from the darkness.

Then, without warning, he stabs a complete stranger.

Jen's world shatters.

Her funny, happy, seemingly ordinary teenage son has just committed murder.

She doesn't know who the victim is.

She doesn't understand why Todd would do something so horrifying.

And she has no idea how to save him.

After Todd is arrested, Jen falls asleep overwhelmed by grief and disbelief.

But when she wakes up, something impossible has happened.

It's yesterday.

The murder hasn't happened yet.

Todd is still innocent.

And Jen has been given another chance.

Desperate to prevent the crime, she searches for clues that might explain her son's actions.

But the next morning, she wakes up even further in the past.

Then further still.

Days become weeks.

Weeks become months.

And eventually, Jen finds herself traveling years backward through her own life.

With each unexpected journey into the past, she begins uncovering secrets, hidden connections, and moments she never realized were important.

Somewhere in her family's history lies the answer to why Todd committed murder.

And Jen must find it before it's too late.

But the deeper she travels into the past, the more she realizes that the truth may be far more complicated than she ever imagined.

How far would you go to save someone you love?

And what if the only way to change the future is to uncover the secrets of the past?

WRONG PLACE WRONG TIME is an unforgettable, mind-bending psychological thriller filled with shocking twists, emotional suspense, and a mother's determination to protect her child.

Perfect for fans of Freida McFadden, Lisa Jewell, Ruth Ware, and cleverly plotted mysteries that keep readers guessing until the very last page.
