My Review:
Wrong Place Wrong Time is an incredibly addictive, intriguing read that I just couldn’t put down. It’s going to be a hard book to review as I don’t want to give anything away.
The story starts the day of the murder and then goes back in time as Jen tries to discover the reason behind why her gentle, science loving son committed a murder. The jumps in time start off slow but soon get a lot bigger as Jen goes further back in time. Jen’s story is intertwined with a new police officer called Ryan who is investigating a suspected crime ring.
I thought all the characters were very well drawn and I enjoyed slowly getting to know more about them as the book went on. It was especially interesting to learn something about the character’s in the past which helped me to make sense of their actions in the future. I really felt for Jen as her anguish over what happened was almost palpable at times. As a parent I understood the guilt she felt about some of her past decisions as I’ve often wished I could turn back time sometimes with the kids. I found it quite thought provoking at times too as it helped me feel better about my own parenting.
I thought this book was fantastically plotted and I soon found myself drawn into the story. There were lots of subtle clues for the reader to find and lots of twists that took me completely my surprise, though I did guess one fairly early on but that didn’t stop me enjoying the book as I had to keep reading to find out if I was right. The last 50 pages were partially actioned packed and I absolutely loved the way it ended! It’s a book I’ve continued to think about long after reading and I’ve had to keep dipping back into the book to re-read certain sections!
Huge thanks to Ellie from Michael St Joseph for my copy of this book.
